A

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “A” is no longer active – it was cancelled under Section 7 after the registrant, AFTON, LLC (a Delaware limited‑liability company), surrendered the registration, with the cancellation dated Dec 23 2021. The registration covered only one class, 025, specifically “apparel for racing, road, off‑road, commuter and urban cyclists, namely, shirts, socks, sweatshirts, hats and shoes,” so a similar name used on cycling‑related clothing would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give AFTON, LLC control over every possible use of the single letter “A” in other industries or on unrelated products. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the surrender notice and cancellation in December 2021, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by others, or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand cycling apparel with the same single‑letter name.
