What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MOTHER” is currently pending on the Principal Register, owned by E. & J. Gallo Winery, a California corporation. The application covers alcoholic beverages, specifically wines, liqueurs, and spirits, as listed in class 033. A similar name used in the same or closely related beverage category would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “MOTHER.” The prosecution history indicates that the applicant has repeatedly requested and received extensions to file a Statement of Use, with the most recent extension granted on August 18, 2026. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and the specific beverage focus suggest a meaningful risk of conflict if used in the wine or spirits market.
