What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CLAUDIA LAYNE FUDGE” is no longer active; it was cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant failed to file a declaration. The owner listed is Partners In Marketing, a corporation organized in Pennsylvania. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, covering the good “Fudge,” with first use in commerce on May 1, 2002. Because the mark is tied specifically to fudge, a similar name used for other foods or unrelated products would be a farther concern, while a name used for fudge or similar confectionery would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation event is the most recent significant status change, dated May 19, 2023. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark no longer protects the owner, but the earlier registration still signals that the owner once claimed exclusive rights to that name for fudge.
