What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for “CHILLINOIS RIVER OUTFITTERS” owned by Matthew Williams, filed on April 29 2024 and currently under examination on the Principal Register; the most recent meaningful event is a final refusal mailed on July 9 2026 after the USPTO reviewed the applicant’s Statement of Use. The application covers clothing – specifically pants, hats and shirts – in International Class 025, so a similar name used for apparel would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as food or services would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Chillinois River” or “Outfitters.” No opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the supplied history, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a clothing brand with a comparable name.
