What this record means
The record shows that “SLEEPY BEAR MICHIGAN COFFEE” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by Carmela Foods Distributing, Inc., a Michigan corporation. The mark protects the word “Coffee” in the context of staple foods, specifically coffee, first used in commerce on March 4 2020. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the coffee or staple food market, especially if used for coffee products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only within the specified goods. The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence with an amendment and publication for opposition, culminating in registration on April 14 2026. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the primary risk lies in the coffee market, where this mark could be invoked.
