## Filing Readiness Review — Registration 8,764,219 **Matter:** NORTHSTAR TRAIL **Jurisdiction:** United States **Filing type:** Combined Sections 8 and 9 **Target filing date:** November 24, 2026 **Review posture:** Partially reviewable. The supplied package supports inventory and comparison of the registration identity, filing type, specimens, sales evidence, fee worksheet, ownership records, and signature materials. Owner-record alignment, the exact continued-use scope, and support for the Class 35 continued-use representation remain unresolved. ### FILING READINESS MATRIX | Requirement / Information Item | Status | Requirement Basis | Supporting Source | Issue / Gap | Human Confirmation | Notes | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Registration number: 8,764,219 | PRESENT | Supplied filing checklist requires registration number | Registration record / matter information | None observed | No | Registration identity is supplied. | | Mark: NORTHSTAR TRAIL | PRESENT | Registration identity supplied for matter review | Registration record / matter information | None observed | No | Mark is identified in the supplied matter information. | | Registration date: February 6, 2017 | PRESENT | Anniversary timing in supplied checklist depends on registration date | Registration record / matter information | None observed | No | Supplied date supports calculation of the stated anniversary interval. | | Target filing date: November 24, 2026 | PRESENT | Supplied matter-specific filing target | Matter information | None observed | No | Based on the supplied rule, the target date falls between the February 6, 2026 and February 6, 2027 anniversaries. This is a date comparison, not a legal timeliness determination. | | Filing type: Combined Section 8 Declaration of Use and Section 9 Application for Renewal | PRESENT | Supplied filing information / requirement basis | Matter information; draft combined filing | None observed | No | The package identifies the matter as a combined Sections 8 and 9 filing. | | Current owner name and address in filing | INCONSISTENT | Supplied checklist requires current owner name and address | Draft filing; registration certificate; current portfolio owner information; 2022 Section 8 filing; 2023 merger record; 2024 portfolio export | Draft filing and current portfolio records identify **Northstar Outdoor Products LLC**, while the registration certificate and 2022 Section 8 filing identify **Northstar Outdoor Equipment, Inc.** | Yes | The merger record supports a corporate change, but no supplied trademark recordal confirmation establishes how the registration record currently reflects that change. | | Current owner address: 7300 Summit Commerce Way, Boulder, CO 80301, USA | PRESENT | Supplied checklist requires current owner address | Current portfolio owner information | No conflicting address supplied | Yes | Address is present for the portfolio owner, but the owner-identity conflict means the filing owner/address combination remains subject to human confirmation. | | Registration record reflects current ownership following 2023 merger | UNKNOWN | No separate supplied requirement establishes a registry-record confirmation item; tracked as a consistency dependency | Registration certificate; 2023 merger record; 2024 portfolio export; absence of recordal confirmation | No supplied document establishes whether the registration record has been updated to the LLC | Yes | Do not infer registry status from the merger or portfolio export. | | Section 8 verified information regarding current use | MISSING | Supplied checklist expressly requires Section 8 verified information regarding current use | Filing package description; use evidence | The supplied materials identify specimens and supporting activity evidence, but no completed/signed verified current-use information is identified | Yes | Absence of identified verified information is a package gap; substantive supportability of the use representation remains for human review. | | Goods/services being maintained | PRESENT | Supplied checklist requires goods/services being maintained | Registration record; classes 18, 25, 35 | Listed registration goods/services are identified, but the supplied materials do not establish that every listed item remains in use | Yes | Presence of the registered identifications is established; whether the continued-use scope should include all listed goods/services requires human confirmation. | | Class 18 specimen | PRESENT | Supplied checklist requires a specimen for each class in use | Current photograph of NORTHSTAR TRAIL branding on backpack | None observed as to physical presence of the specimen | Yes | Specimen is present. Whether it is legally acceptable for the intended representation is not determined here. | | Class 25 specimen | PRESENT | Supplied checklist requires a specimen for each class in use | Current product-page screenshot showing NORTHSTAR TRAIL jackets and footwear | None observed as to physical presence of the specimen | Yes | Specimen is present. Legal acceptability/supportability is not determined here. | | Class 35 specimen | PRESENT | Supplied checklist requires a specimen for each class in use | Online retail storefront screenshot displaying NORTHSTAR TRAIL branding and outdoor products | Specimen is present, but current transactional evidence for the retail-service activity was not supplied | Yes | Presence of the screenshot is established; current use/supportability requires human review. | | Continued-use evidence for Class 18 | PRESENT | Supplied checklist requires current-use information; supporting evidence is relevant to review | Recent sales records; backpack specimen | No package-level absence identified | Yes | Evidence of recent activity is supplied. Exact legal supportability of the Section 8 representation is not determined. | | Continued-use evidence for Class 25 | PRESENT | Supplied checklist requires current-use information; supporting evidence is relevant to review | Recent sales records; jackets/footwear specimen | No package-level absence identified | Yes | Evidence of recent activity is supplied. Exact legal supportability of the Section 8 representation is not determined. | | Current-use support for Class 35 online retail services | REQUIRES HUMAN CONFIRMATION | Supplied checklist requires current-use information for maintained services | Business team statement; retail storefront specimen; absence of current transaction record | The business team states the retail store is operating, but no current transaction record for the retail-service activity was supplied | Yes | The supplied evidence supports an observation that an operating-store assertion and storefront material exist. Whether the evidentiary record supports the intended current-use representation requires human judgment. | | Applicable filing fee per class | MISSING | Supplied checklist expressly requires the applicable filing fee per class | Filing fee worksheet | Worksheet lists three classes but no fee amount or payment evidence is identified in the supplied package | Yes | Do not invent or externally assume a fee amount from the supplied materials. | | Section 9 renewal request | PRESENT | Supplied filing type expressly identifies a combined Sections 8 and 9 filing | Draft combined Sections 8 and 9 filing | No separate gap identified from the supplied description | Yes | The renewal component is identified as part of the draft; substantive filing sufficiency remains outside this review. | | Draft signature / verification page | PRESENT | Relevant to supplied verified-information package | Draft signature and verification page | Page is present but not yet signed | Yes | Presence is established. Completion of verification/signature remains unresolved. | | Prior ownership information consistent with current filing | INCONSISTENT | Consistency review across prior and current filing records | 2022 Section 8 filing; 2023 merger record; 2024 portfolio export; current draft | 2022 filing identifies Inc.; 2024 export and current draft identify LLC | Yes | Conflict is preserved rather than resolved by assumption. | | Fee worksheet class count corresponds to listed classes | PRESENT | Supplied requirement calls for fee per class; class count is relevant supporting information | Registration classes; fee worksheet | Three classes are listed in the worksheet, matching Classes 18, 25, and 35 | No | This confirms the worksheet contains a three-class count, not that the applicable fees have been established or paid. | ## OUTSTANDING ITEMS **Missing** * Identified completed/verified Section 8 current-use information is not present in the supplied package description. * The filing fee worksheet lists three classes but does not identify the applicable fee amount or payment evidence. **Inconsistent** * Ownership information is materially inconsistent across the registration certificate, prior Section 8 filing, merger records, portfolio export, and draft filing. * The draft identifies **Northstar Outdoor Products LLC**, while the registration certificate and 2022 filing identify **Northstar Outdoor Equipment, Inc.** **Unknown** * The supplied package does not establish whether the trademark registration record itself has been updated following the 2023 merger. * The exact continued-use scope across all registered goods/services is not established from the supplied evidence. **Requires human confirmation** * Current owner identity/address as it should appear in the filing, given the unresolved ownership-record conflict. * Whether the maintained goods/services should include the full registered identifications or whether any items should be removed based on actual use. * Whether the supplied Class 18 and Class 25 evidence supports the intended current-use representations. * Whether the Class 35 evidence supports the intended current-use representation, particularly given the absence of a current transaction record. * Completion and execution of the draft verification/signature material. **Requirement-verification dependencies** * No material requirement-basis gap was identified for the supplied checklist items themselves. No additional jurisdiction-specific requirements have been introduced. **Applicability dependencies** * The supplied materials do not establish, for each individual listed good/service, whether it remains within the intended continued-use scope. This should be resolved through factual and professional review rather than assumed. **Overall review condition:** The package is **not factually clean for filing review yet** because the ownership record conflict, unsigned verification material, fee-detail gap, and unresolved continued-use support—especially for Class 35—remain open. This is an evidence/readiness observation, not a legal determination of compliance or sufficiency. I can also convert this into a compact paralegal review checklist with one action/owner field per outstanding item.
