What this record means
The record shows that “DOC'S FILTERS” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by Doc's Filters, Inc., a corporation organized in Ohio. The mark covers air filters for automobile engines, fuel filters, and oil filters, with first use in March 2022. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the automotive filter market, especially where the goods are sold or used. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “filters” or “doc’s” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration path with no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move. The latest event is the registration confirmation on September 24, 2024, and the next significant date would be the first post‑registration maintenance filing, which the record does not supply. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the visible record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the automotive filter sector.
