WINDSURF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WINDSURF” was abandoned by Sutter Home Winery, Inc., a California corporation, and is no longer live. The abandoned application was for alcoholic beverages except beers, class 033, and the abandonment occurred after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance on January 13, 2015. Because the mark is dead, the owner no longer holds any rights to that wording in that specific class. The record does not give the owner control over every use of “WINDSURF” in other goods or services, but it does indicate that a similar name could raise the closest concern for alcoholic beverages. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 15, 2016. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of confusion in the alcoholic beverage market, but no broader claim exists.
