SPIDER-MANSerial 73297787 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Feb 19, 1981
Registered Aug 31, 1982
The record shows that the mark “SPIDER‑MAN” is no longer live; it was cancelled on June 7, 2003 because the registrant, Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on August 31, 1982 for class 009, covering a wide range of electrical and scientific apparatus such as radios, walkie‑talkies, phonographs, motion‑picture films, slide discs, optical products like sunglasses and cameras, and related accessories. A similar name used for goods or services that fall within that same class—especially audio‑visual or optical equipment—would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific protection that existed for those goods. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration and later cancellation, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For anyone thinking of a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk, but the original goods list still signals a potential concern if the new use overlaps those categories.

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.
