What this record means
The record shows that METAN is a live, Principal Register registration owned by ELLEXIAO INC., a California corporation, and it was registered on May 25 2021 after filing on Sep 18 2020. The protection is limited to the goods listed in International Class 020 – essentially a range of non‑metal household and pet furniture items such as stools, picture frames, plant stands, infant walkers, safety gates, storage boxes and related accessories – and the first use in commerce was June 12 2020. Because the registration is confined to those specific furnishings, a similar name used for unrelated products or services would not automatically fall within this record’s scope, though the same wording in a comparable category could raise a concern. The prosecution history shows an examiner’s amendment on Feb 4 2021 that led to registration on the Principal Register; there is no Supplemental Register entry. The most recent meaningful event is a courtesy reminder for the six‑year maintenance filing dated May 25 2026, and the supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market furniture or similar non‑metal home items under a name that sounds like METAN.
