FORTITECH QUALITY STANDARD · LEADERSHIP · CERTIFICATION · INTEGRITY ·

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FORTITECH QUALITY STANDARD · LEADERSHIP · CERTIFICATION · INTEGRITY ·” is dead, having been abandoned by FORTITECH INC., a corporation organized in New York, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on January 29, 2013 and was abandoned on December 17, 2013. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 005, covering mineral additives for foodstuffs and beverages, vitamin additives for foodstuffs and beverages, herbal extracts for medical purposes, amino acids for nutritional purposes, nucleotide preparations for use as nutritional foodstuffs, and nutraceuticals for use as a dietary supplement for human consumption. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of nutritional supplements and related food additives. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only covers the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that the abandoned status removes the immediate threat of infringement, but the goods listed remain a potential area of concern if the new name is used in the same or closely related categories.
