BUD

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BUD” was abandoned by its owner, The Wonderful Company LLC, after the applicant filed an express abandonment on December 5, 2023. The mark was filed on the Principal Register for class 031 goods, specifically fresh fruit and fresh citrus fruit, first used in commerce in November 2019. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “BUD.” The closest area of concern for a similar name would be in the fresh fruit or citrus fruit market, where the abandoned mark had been claimed. The prosecution history shows a typical examination process with office actions and extensions, but no opposition or enforcement actions appear in the supplied documents. With no visible enforcement activity and the mark now dead, the risk of conflict is lower, though a name that directly competes in the same fruit category could still raise questions.
