FORTITECH QUALITY STANDARD

What this record means

The record shows that “FORTITECH QUALITY STANDARD” was registered on the Principal Register on May 31 2011 but was cancelled on January 5 2018 because the owner, DSM IP ASSETS B.V., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered a range of pharmaceutical goods, including dietary and mineral supplements, vitamins, and fortified food products for medical use. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement area. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the phrase “QUALITY STANDARD.” The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of examination, allowance, and statement‑of‑use filings, with no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest event is the cancellation in 2018; no further dates are supplied. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific pharmaceutical goods remain a potential area of concern.
