CROCS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “CROCS” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by CROCS LIGHTER INC, a corporation organized in California. It covers lighters primarily for lighting grills, fireplaces and candles, with first use in May 2013 and use in commerce by July 2013. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of lighters and related lighting devices. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “CROCS” in unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration, with no Supplemental Register involvement. The latest maintenance event was the renewal and acceptance of the 10‑year Section 8 and 9 renewal on May 8, 2023. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the new use is in the same or a closely related category of lighters.
