What this record means
The record shows that the mark “N R G SHOCK DROPS” was registered on the Principal Register in 2012 but was cancelled in 2019 because the owner, Hillside Candy, LLC, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered candy containing caffeine, specifically “Candy containing caffeine” in class 030. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products that are candy with caffeine, such as energy‑boosting sweets or similar confectionery. The cancellation means the mark no longer has enforceable rights, but the record does not prove that the wording is free for all uses; other rights could exist elsewhere. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of examination, acceptance, and a statement of use, with no indication that the mark was ever on the Supplemental Register. The last status event was the cancellation on May 31 2019, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use is in the same category.
