SUMORA

What this record means

The record shows that SUMORA is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the owner, Alex N. Grafov, failed to file a required Statement of Use, with the abandonment notice mailed on June 29 2015 being the last meaningful status event. The filing covered only Class 033, specifically “Alcoholic fruit cocktail drinks,” so the closest area of concern would be a similar name used for any alcoholic beverage of that type; uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown in the record. Because the application never progressed to registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word SUMORA in any market. The prosecution history shows a series of extensions for filing the Statement of Use, but none succeeded, leading to the final abandonment. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a name like SUMORA for alcoholic drinks, but the risk is lower for other product lines.
