FISHWIFE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FISHWIFE” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 88673507, owned by Alpay, a California corporation. It protects the service of “Restaurant” in class 043, with first use in commerce on November 26, 1985. A similar name would raise the closest concern for restaurant or hotel services, especially where the name is used to identify a dining establishment. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “fishwife” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a standard examination, with an amendment entered on February 6, 2020, and the mark was published for opposition on March 17, 2020 before being registered on June 2, 2020. The latest status event is the acceptance of a Section 8 declaration on August 2, 2026, keeping the mark active. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “FISHWIFE” for a restaurant or related hospitality service could be seen as infringing this active registration.
