JULIUS KOCH

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “JULIUS KOCH” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Hunter Douglas Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the mark was filed on January 27, 2017. The goods covered are ropes, strings, nets, raw fibrous textile materials, and yarns and threads for textile use, classes 022 and 023. A similar name used for products in those textile or rope categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the specific goods listed. No prosecution history is shown, and the status event is the abandonment on December 8, 2017. There is no visible enforcement activity in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific goods listed still represent a potential area of concern.
