What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SOUL” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, GRUPO MINSA, S.A.B. DE C.V., failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for classes 030 and 031, covering staple foods such as cornflour, cornmeal, bakery mixes containing cornmeal, processed bran, and unprocessed corn. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the food and grain sector, especially for products involving corn. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “SOUL” outside those specific goods. The last significant event was the abandonment notice on August 24, 2015, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the abandoned mark still indicates a prior claim in corn‑based foods, so caution is warranted.
