MANGOBIOTICS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MANGOBIOTICS” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Red Mango, Inc., did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on October 12, 2012, published for opposition on March 19, 2013, and the abandonment was finalized on December 16, 2013. The only goods listed are probiotic compositions for use as ingredients for food and beverages, specifically probiotic bacteria and cultures. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of probiotic food ingredients or related products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Mango” or “Biotics” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in probiotic food ingredients could conflict with this abandoned mark, while uses in unrelated fields may be less problematic.
