GROUNDED

What this record means

The record shows that “GROUNDED” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by HMSHost Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and it is currently registered for restaurant and bar services under International Class 043, with the first use in commerce dated June 2013. A later‑filed mark that uses the same word in the same hospitality context would run into the closest record‑based concern, because the registration’s protection is tied specifically to those restaurant‑related services; uses in unrelated fields such as apparel or software would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give HMSHost control over every possible use of the word “grounded.” The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of the Section 8 (ten‑year) renewal on August 17 2026, confirming the mark’s continued active status. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for food‑service or bar offerings.
