BLACK SHEEP

What this record means

The record shows that “BLACK SHEEP” is a live, Principal Register registration owned by Black Sheep Foods Inc., a Delaware corporation, and it covers “Meat substitutes; plant‑based meat substitutes” in International Class 029, with first use in commerce dated October 31 2021. Because the listed goods are limited to plant‑based meat products, a similar name used for foods in that category would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “black sheep.” The prosecution history shows a standard path to registration, including a Statement of Use and a Notice of Allowance, culminating in the registration on April 18 2023, which is the latest meaningful status event. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a brand in the plant‑based meat space.
