FISHWIFE
Pending · Under Examination LIVE/APPLICATION/Under Examination
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FISHWIFE” is currently pending under examination on the Principal Register, owned by Fisch‑Witte GmbH & Co. KG, a German entity. The application covers tableware, cookware and containers; clothing, headgear, shoes and parts of clothing; a wide range of meats, fish, poultry, processed foods and related preparations; agricultural products and live animals; and restaurant and hotel services such as food and drink provision and catering. A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of those goods or services, especially where the mark is used for food, beverages, or related apparel. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “fishwife.” The prosecution history shows a non‑final Office action issued on April 4, 2026, with the applicant still required to respond; no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The latest event is the non‑final action, and the next consequential date would be the response deadline, which is not provided. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and broad goods and services list suggest a meaningful risk of conflict in those areas.
