What this record means
The record shows that the mark “JULIUS KOCH NORTH AMERICA” is dead, having been abandoned after publication because the applicant filed an express abandonment. The owner listed is Julius Koch GmbH, a German limited liability company. The mark covered the single class 023, which lists “Yarns and threads, for textile use.” Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The closest area of concern would be any use of the same name in the textile yarn or thread market. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on December 15, 2021. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to the textile yarn and thread space, and the mark’s dead status means it no longer poses a legal barrier in other goods or services.
