MINKA WILTZ

What this record means

The record shows that “MINKA WILTZ” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on Dec 11 2023 after the applicant, WiltzMeadows LLP, failed to answer a final refusal. The only listed goods are “Opera musical recordings; Opera musical sound recordings” in International Class 009, so a similar name would be most relevant to other audio‑recording or music‑related offerings. The filing does not give the owner control over every use of the words “MINKA” or “WILTZ” outside that narrow scope. Because the mark never reached registration, there’s no supplemental‑register nuance to explain; the prosecution history simply reflects a final refusal followed by an abandonment notice. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Dec 11 2023, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I’d treat this as a modest concern if you’re planning a music‑recording brand with a similar name.
