What this record means
The record shows that “BANZA” is a pending mark owned by Banza, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, and it is currently under examination on the Principal Register. The mark covers staple foods such as bread, crackers, sandwiches, tortillas, breakfast cereals, pancake mixes, waffle mixes, frozen pancakes, and frozen pasta or rice‑based meals. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the food and bakery product area, especially for items listed in class 030. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “BANZA.” The prosecution history indicates that the applicant has repeatedly requested and received extensions to file a Statement of Use, with the most recent extension granted on March 18 2026. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the current pending status and the specific food goods listed suggest a meaningful risk of conflict in that market.
