What this record means
The record shows that “BRIM‑IT” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by Chris Davenport, an individual. It protects hat ornaments that are not made of precious metal, with first use in December 2013 and use in commerce beginning January 2014. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any business selling or marketing non‑precious‑metal hat ornaments, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history indicates a standard examination, with a single refusal for descriptiveness that was overcome, and the mark was ultimately registered on December 13, 2016. The most recent status event is the acceptance of the Section 8 and 15 declarations on June 13, 2023. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the mark is active for hat ornaments, so using the same or a confusingly similar name in that area could lead to potential infringement concerns.
