FREEDOM'S CHOICE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “FREEDOM'S CHOICE” is a dead mark that was abandoned by the Defense Commissary Agency after no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for a wide range of food and pet‑food goods, including meats, staple foods, pet treats, and light beverages. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same categories, especially where the goods are sold under a brand that could be confused with the abandoned mark. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The last significant event was the abandonment notice on September 3, 2018. If you’re thinking of using a similar name for food or pet‑food products, this history suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in those areas.
