What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MOON” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 87378686, owned by Moon(Shanghai)International Trading Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized in China. It covers tobacco‑related goods such as absorbent paper for tobacco pipes, cigarette paper, filters, rolling papers, cigarettes, lighters, matches, pocket machines for rolling cigarettes, and tobacco itself, first used in commerce on January 6, 2017. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the tobacco and smoking‑related product space, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the specific scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the word “MOON.” The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration with no Supplemental Register involvement. The latest meaningful maintenance event is the receipt of a Section 8 notice on May 17, 2024, reminding the owner of the six‑year renewal requirement. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the tobacco category suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the new use is in a related field.
