PASSION

What this record means

The record shows that the mark PASSION was filed by WBM LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, but it is now abandoned after an incomplete response to an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated Dec 7 2020. The application covered two classes: Class 029 for “Food and Snacks based on Fruit and Vegetable for daily diet, namely, fruit chips, vegetable paste, and processed fruit,” and Class 030 for “Staple Food and Snacks based on Fruit and Vegetable for daily diet, namely, fruit pieces, fruit sauces, and vegetable concentrates used for seasoning.” A similar name used on comparable fruit‑ or vegetable‑based food products would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “PASSION.” No Supplemental Register filing appears; the prosecution history simply tracks the examiner’s actions, the applicant’s attempts at reconsideration, and the final abandonment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Dec 7 2020, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for fruit‑or‑vegetable snack foods.
