V

What this record means

The record shows a live, registered Principal Register mark “V” owned by Ventrone Barbecue LLC, a Rhode Island limited‑liability company, and it covers staple‑food items in class 030 such as sauces, barbecue sauce, savory condiments, dry rubs, spice rubs for meats and fish, seasonings, food seasonings, dipping sauces and grilling sauces, with a first use date of October 3 2025. Because the registration is limited to those food‑related goods, a similar name used for anything outside that scope—say clothing, software or services—would not fall under the same record‑based concern, though the exact wording is still protected for the listed items. The latest meaningful event is the registration confirmation on June 16 2026, and the prosecution history shows a standard examiner’s amendment before the mark was approved for the Principal Register, but it does not imply any broader rights. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market food sauces or related products under a similar name.
