FUNSerial 73814078 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: PAPPAS TELECASTING OF THE CAROLINAS, INC.
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Class 038 - Communication Services
Filed Jul 20, 1989
Registered Dec 11, 1990
The record shows that FUN was a Principal Register service mark owned by PAPPAS TELECASTING OF THE CAROLINAS, INC., but the registration was cancelled on June 16 1997 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is no longer live. The filing covered advertising and business services (class 035) – specifically advertising and promoting the sale of others’ goods and services by distributing printed materials, conducting contests, and sponsoring promotional events – and television broadcasting services (class 038). A later applicant using a similar name in those same advertising, promotional or broadcast contexts would encounter the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, amended by the examiner, and ultimately registered in 1990 before its cancellation; no opposition or other enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name in advertising or TV broadcasting, because the cancelled registration still signals prior use in those areas.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
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.
