What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BIRKENSTOCK” is currently pending on the Principal Register, owned by Birkenstock US BidCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The application covers a range of goods and services, including footwear, sandals, clogs, shoes, boots, socks, insoles, orthopaedic insoles, shoe brushes, and a variety of cleaning and cosmetic preparations for feet and body, as well as online and retail store services related to those items. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the footwear and related care product categories, especially where the goods or services overlap with those listed. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “Birkenstock.” The prosecution history shows a suspension letter issued on August 16, 2026, but no further action or opposition has been recorded. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and the specific goods listed suggest a meaningful risk of conflict in the footwear and care product space.
