What this record means
The record shows that the mark “ESKIMO FIRE” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Billy Murphy, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was held on the Principal Register and covered a single class—polyvinyl chloride assemblies in the nature of sprinklers for watering flowers and plants to protect household plants from freezing. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the narrow field of specialized sprinkler assemblies for protecting household plants from freezing. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of examination, publication for opposition, allowance, and abandonment, with no evidence of enforcement actions. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 20, 2017. For anyone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific sprinkler application remains a potential point of concern.
