What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MOTHER” was registered on the Principal Register on October 30, 2018, but it was cancelled on May 16, 2025 because the registrant, E. & J. Gallo Winery, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered alcoholic beverages except beers, so a similar name used for other products would raise the closest concern only if the goods were alcoholic beverages. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and statement of use process, with no descriptive refusal or Supplemental Register steps. The latest significant event is the cancellation in May 2025, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or court proceedings appear in the supplied history. If you’re thinking of a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the record still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that specific category.
