MOTHER TONGUE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MOTHER TONGUE” is dead, having been abandoned by Mother Tongue, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on January 23, 2020 and the abandonment notice was issued on April 20, 2023. The only goods listed are sauces and spice blends under class 030, so a similar name used for those products would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark any control over other uses of the wording. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in April 2023. For anyone thinking of using a similar name for sauces or spice blends, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that wording, but the historical filing still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that specific category.
