GASPARILLA BREWING COMPANY

What this record means

The record shows that “GASPARILLA BREWING COMPANY” is an abandoned application, filed by Brian Tresidder as an individual on Oct 8 2011, and it never moved beyond the notice of allowance because no Statement of Use was filed, leading to abandonment on Dec 17 2012. The only goods listed are “Beer” in International Class 032, so a later user of a similar name in the beer market would encounter the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as clothing or software would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never entered the register, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Gasparilla” or “Brewing Company.” The prosecution history shows the application progressed to a notice of allowance before being abandoned, but there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation, or court action. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market beer under a similar name, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO examined the mark for that specific product.
