What this record means
The record shows that “THE PINK LEMONADE CAKE COMPANY” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on April 1 2026 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and no later filing has revived it; the owner listed is Tangela Nesbitt Smalls, an individual. The filing covered Class 030 staple foods, specifically bakery desserts, candy‑coated popcorn, rice, ice cream, sauces, candy, cotton candy, cinnamon rolls, dipping sauces, chocolate confections, shaved‑ice confections, seasonings, food seasonings and preserved garden herbs used as seasonings. A similar name would be most concerning if used for any of those food items, because the record’s protection was limited to that description and does not extend to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in December 2025 followed by an abandonment notice in April 2026, and there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions recorded. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a food‑related brand that overlaps these items.
