What this record means
The record shows that SWEET ESMERALDA'S is a live, Principal Register trademark owned by PEPE'S FOODS, INC, a California corporation, and it was registered on July 14, 2026. The registration covers class 030 staple foods – specifically tamales, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and empanadas – and the first use in commerce was Nov 1, 2025. Because the listed goods are all Mexican‑style prepared foods, a similar name used for those or closely related food items would present the closest record‑based concern; uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not control every possible use of the wording. The latest meaningful event is the registration confirmation on July 14, 2026; no further maintenance dates are provided. The prosecution history shows a normal progression through filing, publication, a statement of use and final registration, and the supplied history contains no visible enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market comparable food products under a similar name.
