What this record means
The record shows that the mark “JULIUS KOCH” is dead, having been abandoned after publication because the applicant, Julius Koch GmbH, a corporation organized in Germany, filed an express abandonment. The mark was filed on October 26, 2016, published for opposition on November 9, 2021, and the abandonment was recorded on December 15, 2021. The goods listed are yarns and threads for textile use, class 023. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context, but the record indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for yarns and threads. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment date in December 2021. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a modest risk if the new use involves yarns or threads, but the mark’s dead status means the owner is not currently protecting that wording.
