What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GROUNDED SNACKS” is no longer active; it was cancelled under Section 8 because the owner, Wehah Farm, Inc., did not file a required declaration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in class 030, covering grain‑based snacks and chips, with first use in December 2016. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products that are grain‑based snacks or chips, as that is the only goods description listed. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific protection for those grain‑based snacks. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of examination, notice of allowance, and a statement of use, but no special Supplemental Register activity. The latest event is the cancellation on November 24, 2023, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the cancelled mark still signals a prior claim in the same product area, so careful review of the goods and potential similarity is advised.
