What this record means
The record shows that ORSON is a live, Principal Register trademark owned by E. & J. Gallo Winery, registration number 8196784, and it was officially entered on the Principal Register on March 31 2026. The registration covers “Alcoholic beverages except beers” in International Class 033, with a first use in commerce dated February 5 2025, so a similar name used on wine, spirits or other non‑beer drinks would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word ORSON, especially in unrelated product categories. The prosecution history shows the usual filing, extensions of time for a Statement of Use, and a Notice of Allowance before the mark entered the Principal Register; there is no indication it was placed on the Supplemental Register. The most recent meaningful event is the registration confirmation on March 31 2026, and the supplied history contains no visible opposition, cancellation or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a similar name for alcoholic beverages, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
