MEAN

What this record means

The record shows that the application for the mark MEAN (Serial 86484907) was filed by Bock Rottom Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company, but it was abandoned on Aug 27 2018 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are alcoholic beverages—gin, vodka, rum, vermouth, wine, liqueurs, apéritifs and alcoholic mixed drinks except beers—so a later use of “MEAN” in that same beverage category would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word in other industries. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Aug 27 2018, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand alcoholic drinks as “MEAN,” but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
