What this record means
The record shows that “ROBERT VENDING MACHINES” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on March 23 2026 after the applicant failed to file a required Statement of Use, so the mark is not live or registered and the owner listed is Michael R. Bell, an individual. The filing covered Class 007 goods described as “vending machines for soda, candy, potato chips,” so a later use of the same or a very similar name on vending‑machine equipment would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. Because the application never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Robert” or “vending machines.” The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on March 23 2026, and the history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand similar vending‑machine products under a comparable name.
