FISH-N-CHUM

What this record means

The record shows that “FISH‑N‑CHUM” is a live Principal Register trademark owned by Gary H Krouth, and it covers “fishing pole holders worn on the body” in International Class 028; a similar name used for any product that attaches to a person’s body for holding a fishing pole would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as apparel or food fall farther from the listed scope. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “fish” or “chum.” The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of a Section 8 declaration on September 14 2021, confirming the mark’s continued registration; no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a product that functions like a body‑worn fishing‑pole holder, because the existing registration directly covers that niche.
