AFTON

What this record means

The record shows that the application for “AFTON” was filed by Quality Bicycle Products, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, but it is now dead because the applicant abandoned it after failing to file a Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance; the abandonment notice was mailed on May 22 2017. The only goods listed in the registration are “Bicycle frames; Bicycles” in International Class 12, so a later user of the same word on anything related to bicycles would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Quality Bicycle Products control over every use of the word “AFTON” in other product categories or services. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on May 22 2017, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use “AFTON” for bike‑related goods, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated fields.
