ROT-NOT

What this record means

The record shows that ROT‑NOT is an abandoned application, listed as “dead” because the applicant, TILLY’S PLACE, a corporation organized in Minnesota, failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated September 21 2012. The only goods covered are hand gardening tools—a plastic stand designed to be placed in soil to protect plants from agricultural belly rot—so a similar name would raise the closest concern for products in the gardening‑tool space, not for unrelated items like clothing or food. The record does not give TILLY’S PLACE control over every use of the word “ROT‑NOT” in any context; it is limited to the narrow description shown. Because the application was never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on September 21 2012, and no enforcement actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a gardening‑tool brand with a similar name.
