What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IF” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 98763091, owned by Independent Fabrication, Inc., a corporation organized in Massachusetts. The registration covers bicycles, bicycle frames, mountain bicycles, and racing bicycles, first used in commerce on May 17 1995. A similar name used in the same or closely related bicycle categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it applies only to the goods listed. The prosecution history indicates a smooth examination that led to registration on September 2 2025, with the last significant event being the notice of registration confirmation. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, Principal Register mark in the bicycle field suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the new use overlaps those goods.
