ALMOST RUM

What this record means

The record shows that “ALMOST RUM” is a live Principal Register registration owned by Erik Vonk, an individual, and it covers staple foods such as molasses syrup, pancake syrup, sugar and sugar substitutes, and unrefined sugar (evaporated sugar cane juice) in International Class 30. Because the listed goods are all sweeteners and syrup products, a similar name used for food‑related items in that same category would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The registration does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “almost” or “rum” in any context. The most recent meaningful event is the May 29 2024 acceptance of the Section 8 (ten‑year) renewal, confirming the mark’s continued active status. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions, so no enforcement signal appears. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a syrup‑type product under a similar name.
