VELCRO
Live / Registered — Registered — cancellation pending (as of 12 Jun 2020)
What this means for you
Registered since 16 Dec 1975. The owner can stop confusingly similar uses in the classes it covers; it stays on the register as long as the owner keeps up the maintenance filings (the §8 & §9 renewal was filed 02 Jun 2026 and is awaiting the USPTO's acceptance). A petition to cancel it is pending before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, so it could still be cancelled; until then it stands.
