SUNRISE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SUNRISE” is dead, having been abandoned by Bunge Oils, Inc., a Delaware corporation, because the owner never filed a Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 029, covering edible fats, edible oils, and margarine. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of food products, especially oils and fats. The abandonment does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the history only indicates that Bunge Oils, Inc. no longer holds the registration. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of extensions and eventual abandonment, with the last status event on June 16, 2014. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the record suggests a potential risk in the edible oil and fat market, but no active enforcement is evident.
