JACK

What this record means

The record shows that the “JACK” application filed by Pastry Smart LLC, a California limited liability company, is dead; it was abandoned on October 9 2014 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The filing covered paper and plastic packaging for baked goods, breads, pastries and confections (class 016) and a range of baked and grain‑based snack foods, crackers and snack cakes (class 030). Because the goods are specifically food‑related and packaging for those foods, a similar name used for anything in those categories would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside of baked‑goods or related packaging fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “JACK.” The prosecution history shows only the filing, an examiner assignment, a non‑final action and then the abandonment notice; there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “JACK” for baked‑goods or their packaging, but the risk is lower for unrelated products.
