What this record means
This record shows that the mark “COCA COLA” was abandoned by its owner, Harvey W. Wiley, and is no longer live. The abandoned application was filed on February 13, 2013 for the class 032 goods of colas and other non‑alcoholic carbonated beverages. Because the mark was withdrawn, the record does not give the owner control over the wording in any other goods or services. The prosecution history shows that the examiner sent a non‑final action in May 2013, the applicant amended the application in early May, and the applicant ultimately filed an express abandonment in early July. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the same beverage category, and the abandoned status means the owner no longer holds a claim, but other rights could still exist elsewhere.
