SPRITE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SPRITE” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 88775600, owned by The Coca‑Cola Company. It protects clothing and related apparel—jackets, gloves, scarves, shirts, shorts, boxer shorts, neckties, pajamas, loungewear, sweatshirts, sweatpants, jeans, aprons, athletic, casual and dress footwear, and hats and caps—first used in commerce on June 30 2020. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the apparel and footwear categories, especially where the goods are similar in style or function. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Sprite” in all contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration sequence with no Supplemental Register involvement. The most recent event is the registration on June 1 2021, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is that any apparel or footwear product bearing that name could be viewed as infringing this active registration.
