What this record means
The record shows that the “PULP” application filed by Brian Bereber is dead – it was abandoned on November 25, 2019 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final Office action, and it never entered registration. The goods listed in class 034 are electronic‑cigarette liquids (e‑liquids) with flavorings, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and containers of those chemical flavorings used to refill e‑cigarette cartridges, with a first‑use date of June 19, 2016. Because the protection was limited to those vaping‑related products, a similar name used for anything outside that niche would be the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PULP.” The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice emailed on November 25, 2019; no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market vaping liquids under a similar name, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
