BRIM BENDER

What this record means

The record shows that “BRIM BENDER” is a live, registered mark on the Supplemental Register, owned by Marcus R. Firebaugh. The registration covers a hat‑shaping tool used to bend hats to different sizes, first used in commerce on August 24, 2022. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same niche of hat‑shaping tools or related headwear accessories. The Supplemental Register status means the mark was initially refused for descriptiveness and later amended to the Supplemental Register, as shown by the prosecution history that includes a non‑final action and subsequent approval. The most recent event is the registration notice on January 16, 2024. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in the hat‑shaping tool market, though it does not preclude all uses of the wording elsewhere.
