What this record means
The record shows that “AFTON” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by Afton Chemical Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and it is currently registered and renewed. The registration covers business management services, specifically logistics and supply‑chain services for others, and distributorship services in the field of chemicals, chemical additives and raw materials, all in International Class 035. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for any logistics, supply‑chain, or chemical‑related services, because those are the exact areas the USPTO has recorded. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “AFTON” in unrelated fields. The most recent meaningful event is the January 19 2023 acceptance of the Section 8 (ten‑year) and Section 9 (renewal) filings, confirming the mark’s continued active status. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a name that touches logistics, supply‑chain or chemical distribution.
