AFTON

What this record means

The record shows that “AFTON” is a live Principal Register registration owned by Afton Chemical Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and it covers class 004 goods described as all‑purpose lubricants, automobile lubricants, automotive lubricants, graphite lubricants, industrial lubricants, industrial oils, lubricants for industrial machinery and mineral and synthetic oils for use in the manufacture of metal‑cutting fluids. Because the listed goods focus on lubricants and related industrial oils, a later applicant using the same word for similar lubricant or oil products would encounter the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “AFTON.” The most recent meaningful event is the notice of acceptance and renewal of the Section 8/9 filing on January 19 2023, confirming the registration’s continued active status. The supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation or other enforcement activity. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the lubricant or industrial oil space.
