PULP CHIPS

What this record means

The record shows a live, registered Supplemental Register trademark for “PULP CHIPS” owned by Pulp Pantry LLC, a California limited‑liability company. The registration, issued on February 1 2022, covers “Vegetable chips” in International Class 029 (Meats & Processed Foods), with a first use claim of March 1 2019 and commercial use from November 1 2019. A similar name used for snack foods, especially vegetable or potato chips, would be the closest area of concern because the goods listed are narrowly focused on that food category. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “pulp” or “chips” in unrelated industries. The prosecution history shows the examiner initially required an amendment, after which the mark was approved and entered on the Supplemental Register on December 22 2021 and formally registered on February 1 2022; no later maintenance filings are noted. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market a comparable snack product under a similar name.
