FUNKYSerial 72429614 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: GEORGE H. FUNK
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Jul 11, 1972
Registered Dec 18, 1973
The record shows that the mark “FUNKY” is no longer live; it was registered on December 18, 1973, for breakfast cereal and snack mixture under class 030, but the registration expired on September 26, 1994 because it was not renewed. The owner listed is George H. Funk. The goods covered were specifically a breakfast cereal and snack mixture composed of grains, brown sugar, and honey, so a new name that is similar and used for the same or closely related food products would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark any control over other uses of the word “funky” outside that food category. No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name in the food or cereal space, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
