In re National Concessions Group, Inc.
Serial No. 87183434 · Decided 2023-05-03 · Other
What happened
The Board refused the teardrop logo used on the same cannabis dabbing tool as the BAKKED word mark: because the product is federal drug paraphernalia, no federal trademark registration is available regardless of state-law legality.
The marks
Applicant
Stylized drop design mark -- "The mark consists of two parallel curved lines forming a teardrop, being wrapped around a smaller solid teardrop." Color is not claimed as a feature of the mark.
"Essential oil dispenser, sold empty, for domestic use," in International Class 21
Why this decision is significant
Cluster companion to the BAKKED word mark — the same first-impression CSA Section 863(f)(1) holding applied to the teardrop logo for the same dabbing tool.
Research significance is Trademark Valet's editorial rating of how useful a decision is to practitioners. It is not a statement of precedential weight — that is the separate Precedential field, which comes from the Board.
