What this record means
The record shows that the mark “RUMPELSTILTSKIN” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Dennis Hill, never filed a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was filed on March 3, 2011 for class 033, which covers wines. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over the word in all contexts, but it does indicate that a similar name used for wines could raise the closest record‑based concern. The prosecution history shows a typical intent‑to‑use sequence: the application was published, a Notice of Allowance was issued, and the owner repeatedly requested and received five extensions before ultimately abandoning the file. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For anyone thinking of using a similar name for wines, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects the owner, but the earlier publication still signals that the word was once considered distinctive in that specific category.
