FUNKYSerial 73206939 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: C. F. Martin Organisation, The
Class 015 -
Filed Mar 12, 1979
Registered Dec 23, 1980
The record shows that the mark “FUNKY” is no longer live; it was cancelled on December 29, 2001 because the owner, C. F. Martin Organisation, The, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on December 23, 1980 for the specific goods of music strings, namely guitar strings, under class 015. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure rather than an opposition or abandonment, the record does not indicate any enforcement activity; no oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear. The cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights on the Principal Register, but the history shows that the mark was once protected for that narrow category. A similar name used for guitar strings or related stringed‑instrument accessories would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk, yet the specific string‑related goods remain a potential point of caution.

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.
