MACADAMIA NUT "BRIE"

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MACADAMIA NUT “BRIE”” is dead and was abandoned because the applicant, The Plant‑Based Gourmet, LLC., failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on December 20, 2018 and the abandonment was noted on January 22, 2020. The only goods listed are nut cheese, specifically a cheese‑type product made from nuts, under class 029. A similar name would raise the closest concern if it is used for the same or very similar nut‑based cheese products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “macadamia nut” or “brie” in other contexts. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that, while the mark is no longer active, the owner still holds rights to that specific description in the nut‑cheese market, so using the same name for a comparable product could create a potential conflict.
