What this record means
The record shows that “OH MY GANACHE” was registered on the Principal Register on January 5, 2016, but the registration was cancelled on July 15, 2022 because the owner, Richard D. Bristow, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered chocolate fondue, chocolate for toppings, chocolate sauce, chocolate topping, and cocoa spreads in class 030. A similar name would raise the closest concern for those chocolate‑related foods, especially if used in a comparable context. The cancellation means the mark no longer confers exclusive rights, but it does not erase the fact that the owner once held a registration for those goods. The prosecution history shows a typical sequence of acceptance, statement of use, and eventual cancellation, with no opposition or court actions recorded. Since the supplied history shows no enforcement activity, the owner has not actively defended the mark. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific chocolate goods listed remain the most relevant area of concern.
