AFTON DESIGN CO.

What this record means

The record shows that “AFTON DESIGN CO.” is a live, registered service mark owned by Afton Design Co. LLC, a Virginia limited‑liability company, and it sits on the Principal Register. The registration covers “Graphic design services” in International Class 042, with a first use date of March 25 2019. A similar name would be most concerning if used for graphic‑design or related technology services, because the record’s protection is limited to that specific description; it does not extend to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows an examiner’s amendment on Jan 25 2024 that led to approval for publication and eventual registration on May 14 2024, but the mark is not on the Supplemental Register. The latest status event is the notice of registration confirmation emailed on May 14 2024, and no opposition or cancellation activity appears in the supplied history. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a graphic‑design brand under a similar name.
