ESMERALDA'S CAFÉ

What this record means

The record shows that ESMERALDA'S CAFÉ is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by Esmeraldas Inc, a North Carolina corporation, and it was registered on May 5 2026 after filing on September 17 2025. The registration covers “Restaurant services featuring Honduran and American food” in International Class 043, so a later business using the same or a similar name for restaurant or food‑service activities would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Esmeralda” or “Café” outside that specific service description. The prosecution history shows an examiner’s amendment on February 17 2026 that was accepted, after which the mark proceeded to registration on the Principal Register. The most recent status event is the notice of registration confirmation emailed on May 5 2026, and no opposition or cancellation actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a restaurant‑type offering under a similar name.
