What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GROUNDED COFFEE BAR” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Stay Grounded Coffee, LLC, a limited liability company organized in Illinois. The mark covered services in class 043, specifically coffee bar services, and the applicant first used the mark in commerce on July 1, 2018. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of coffee bar or restaurant services, as that is the only goods or services listed. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the words “grounded” or “coffee bar.” The prosecution history shows a final refusal in January 2026 followed by abandonment in May 2026, with no enforcement actions recorded. The latest event is the abandonment notice on May 6, 2026. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific coffee bar services remain a potential area of concern.
