ALMOST PATRIOTS PODCAST

What this record means

The record shows a live, registered Principal Register service mark owned by Michael Zettl, filed Dec 18 2024 and issued Aug 26 2025. It covers entertainment services in Class 041, specifically “providing non‑downloadable podcasts … in the field of lifestyle, sports, economics, politics and entertainment” and “ongoing non‑downloadable multimedia programs … distributed via various platforms.” A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for any podcast‑type or multimedia entertainment content in those subject areas, because the listed services are fairly broad within that niche. The registration does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “ALMOST PATRIOTS PODCAST” outside those described services. The prosecution history shows an examiner’s amendment on Jun 5 2025 that led to registration on the Principal Register, but the record does not indicate any Supplemental Register filing. The most recent status event is the Notice of Registration Confirmation emailed Aug 26 2025, and no opposition or cancellation activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a podcast or similar entertainment offering under a comparable name.
