UNDER THE LID

What this record means

The record shows that “UNDER THE LID” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, ACH Food Companies, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated December 3 2012. The filing covered only one class, Class 30 (Staple Foods), specifically “sauces for flavoring foods,” so the closest area of concern would be any future sauce or flavoring product that uses the same wording. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the phrase in unrelated categories, and it never reached registration on either the Principal or Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on December 3 2012, and no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a sauce brand with a similar name, because the abandoned filing still signals a prior claim in that product space.
