PEPSI

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PEPSI” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by PepsiCo, Inc., a corporation organized in North Carolina. The registration covers the sale of audio headphones, listed under class 009, with first use in August 2023. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class and for the same goods, because the record’s goods description is narrow and specific. This record does not give PepsiCo control over every use of the word “PEPSI” in all contexts; it only protects the particular goods listed. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path to registration, with a notice of allowance in November 2024 and final registration in April 2026, and no opposition or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The most recent event is the registration confirmation on April 21, 2026. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “PEPSI” for audio headphones or related electronic devices could be viewed as infringing, while use in unrelated goods may be less problematic.
