Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
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 has been renewed as of the October 24 2023 filing of the Section 8/9 renewal. The registration covers chemical additives for enhancing the performance of lubricating oils, greases, fuels and industrial coolants, as well as petroleum‑soluble compounds used in blending fuels, motor and gear oils, and soluble cutting oils for metalworking (Class 001 and Class 004). A similar name used for products in those chemical or petroleum‑additive categories would create the closest record‑based concern, because the listed goods define the scope of the federal protection. The record does not give Afton Chemical control over every possible use of the word “AFTON” outside those described areas. The prosecution history shows a straightforward examination with publication for opposition in March 2013 and registration on the Principal Register in June 2013, followed by routine renewal filings; there is no indication of any oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market chemical additives or related petroleum products under a similar name.
