PREFIERO MORIR DE PIE QUE VIVIR DE RODILLAS
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark PREFIERO MORIR DE PIE QUE VIVIR DE RODILLAS was registered on the Principal Register for the individual D. DE LOS RIOS, MIGUEL but was cancelled on Sep 23 2022 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the registration is now dead. The only listed goods are “Tequila” in International Class 033, meaning the closest area of concern for a similar name would be any other tequila or alcoholic‑beverage branding that uses the same phrase. The record does not give the owner control over the wording in unrelated product categories or services. The prosecution history shows the normal flow from filing in 2015, publication for opposition, registration in 2016, and a courtesy reminder in 2021 before the eventual cancellation, with no oppositions or other enforcement actions recorded. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the phrase for tequila or similar spirits, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
