What this record means
The record shows that the mark “UPSHOT COFFEE” is currently pending on the Principal Register, owned by VanBuskirk Artisanal, LLC, a limited liability company organized in Missouri. The application covers the sale of coffee as a staple food, with first use in commerce in May 2019. Because the mark is still pending, it does not yet grant exclusive rights, but it does signal that the owner has applied for protection specifically for coffee. A similar name used for coffee or related food products would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The prosecution history indicates that the examiner has issued a suspension letter, which pauses further action until the applicant responds; no cancellation or abandonment appears. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations is recorded. If you plan to use a similar name for coffee, be aware that the pending application could still be approved, creating a potential conflict.
