What this record means
The record shows that “BROOKLYN FINE TEA CO.” is a dead mark that was abandoned on February 10, 2020 because the applicant, Christopher Johns, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on October 13, 2016 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, covering tea, tea bags, tea pods, tea substitutes, flowers or leaves for use as tea substitutes, instant tea, and mixes for making dried or loose‑leaf tea. Because the mark is no longer active, the owner no longer has enforceable rights in those specific goods, but the history shows that the mark was once considered distinctive for that category. The prosecution history indicates a series of suspension and non‑final action notices before abandonment, suggesting the examiner had concerns that were not resolved. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied record, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for tea‑related products, this abandoned mark still signals that the wording was once protected for those goods, so you should proceed cautiously.
