What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BRIM” is currently pending under examination on the Principal Register, owned by HNI Technologies Inc., a corporation organized in Iowa. The application, filed April 17 2026 on an intent‑to‑use basis, covers furniture, office furniture, seating furniture, chairs, and office chairs. A similar name used for goods in these categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “BRIM”; it only reflects the scope listed in the application. The prosecution history indicates a non‑final Office action was issued on August 4 2026, and the applicant has requested an extension to respond, which was granted on August 24 2026. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and the specific furniture classes suggest a meaningful risk of conflict if the name is used for comparable goods.
