MARLBORO

What this record means

The record shows that “MARLBORO” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by Philip Morris USA Inc., a corporation organized in Virginia. The mark protects the word “MARLBORO” on class 34 goods, specifically tobacco products such as cigarettes, first used in commerce on March 9, 2011. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use on cigarettes or related tobacco items, while use on unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the word. The prosecution history indicates a straightforward registration with no supplemental register movement. The most recent maintenance event was the acceptance of the 10‑year renewal on January 12, 2023, keeping the mark active. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “MARLBORO” on cigarettes or similar tobacco products could conflict with this active, principal‑register mark.
