What this record means
The record shows that “MAMA'S BARBECUE SAUCE” is an abandoned application, filed by Michael Crutcher on May 3 2023 and marked dead on June 4 2024 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final Office action; no registration was ever issued. The only goods listed are a barbecue sauce described as a family‑recipe processed food in International Class 029, so a similar name used on any sauce, condiment or other meat‑related product would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over the words “mama’s” or “barbecue sauce” in unrelated categories such as clothing or services, and it does not extend to uses outside the narrow food description shown. The prosecution history simply reflects the filing, an examiner assignment, a non‑final action, and the final abandonment notice—there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on June 4 2024, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market a sauce under a similar name, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO saw a potential conflict in the same food space.
