What this record means
The record shows that “GROUNDED” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Grounded Foods Co., a Delaware corporation. It protects plant‑based cheese substitutes, specifically hemp seed and cauliflower cheeses, first used in commerce on April 22, 2019. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products in the same class of plant‑based cheese or related convenience foods. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “grounded” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration path with no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register movement. The most recent event is a 6‑year maintenance reminder emailed on February 23, 2026. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of a similar name for plant‑based cheese products, this mark represents a meaningful risk.
