What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NEW GLARUS BREWING CO. DAN'S BEST BITTER BREWED AND BOTTLED IN NEW GLARUS, WI” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, New Glarus Brewing Company, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was held on the Principal Register for class 032, covering beer. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the beer category, especially if the new product is marketed as a beer or a beverage that could be confused with a beer. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a typical sequence: the application was approved for publication, published for opposition, granted a Notice of Allowance, and then the owner failed to file the required use statement. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer protected, but the past registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights to that exact wording in beer, so caution is advised if the new name is very close.
