SMILING SEEDS

What this record means

The record shows that “SMILING SEEDS” is an abandoned application (status dead) filed by Collaborative Commerce, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and it is not a live registration. The goods listed fall in classes 029 and 030 and include bean‑based snack foods, canned and dried beans, various processed seed snacks (sunflower, chia, pumpkin, sesame), seed‑based snack bars, snack mixes with nuts and seeds, as well as rice, grain‑based snack foods, processed grains, processed quinoa and grain‑based food bars. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for any of those food products, especially processed seed or grain snacks, because the record’s protection is limited to those descriptions. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “smiling” or “seeds” in unrelated categories. The prosecution history shows the application moved through the usual steps, received a Notice of Allowance in August 2023, but the applicant never filed a required Statement of Use and the USPTO issued an abandonment notice on September 8 2025, which is the latest status event. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market snack foods or grain products under a similar name.
