HYPHEN

What this record means

The record shows that the mark HYPHEN is live and registered on the Principal Register, with registration dated Oct 04 2022, and the owner listed as Ono Food Co., a Delaware corporation. The registration covers industrial robots for assembling, cooking and serving food in International Class 007, so a later use of “Hyphen” in a similar robotics‑for‑food‑service context would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Ono Food Co. control over every possible use of the word “Hyphen” in unrelated industries. The prosecution history shows a standard examination path—an examiner’s amendment in November 2021, a statement‑of‑use filing, and final registration—without any supplemental‑register filing. The most recent meaningful event is the notice of registration confirmation on Oct 04 2022, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same robotic‑food‑service space.
