What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORTITEC” is dead and was abandoned after a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is Purina Animal Nutrition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for the single class 031, covering animal feed. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “FORTITEC.” The closest area of concern for someone considering a similar name would be the sale or distribution of animal feed, as that is the only goods category shown. The record contains no evidence of opposition, cancellation, or court action, so there is no visible enforcement activity. The last significant event was the abandonment on September 2, 2016. For anyone thinking about using a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific animal‑feed context remains the most relevant concern.
