AN EATING AND DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT. THE PINK ELEPHANT

What this record means

The record shows a live, pending application for the service mark “AN EATING AND DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT. THE PINK ELEPHANT” owned by GASPARILLA INN, INC., a Delaware corporation, and it is being examined on the Principal Register. The only goods and services listed are “Restaurant and bar services; Hotel restaurant services” in International Class 043, so a similar name used for food‑service or hotel dining would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that sector are not covered by this filing. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “eating and drinking establishment” or “pink elephant.” There is no Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history simply reflects a series of office‑action suspensions, the most recent being a suspension notice on Aug 22 2026. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name in the restaurant or hotel dining market.
