Update on Barista Trademark Application

by Tamera H. BennettJune 20, 2007

The time has come and gone for a party to oppose the "Barista" trademark application filed by RaceTrac Petroleum, Inc. This blog reported an extension of time to oppose the pending application was granted to Starbucks through June 13, 2007.

No opposition proceeding was instituted and the "Barista" trademark application is not abandoned. We will continue to watch to see if the application abandons which means only one thing ... somebody settled with Starbucks.
