FUN FAXSerial 73833884 · Principal Register
Dead · Surrendered
Owner: HALLMARK CARDS, INCORPORATED
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Oct 26, 1989
Registered May 29, 1990
The record shows that “FUN FAX” is no longer active – the registration was cancelled under Section 7 after the owner, Hallmark Cards, Incorporated, surrendered it on April 30, 1991, so the mark is dead rather than live, pending or abandoned. It was registered on the Principal Register for Class 016, specifically “faxable greeting cards,” with the first use dated May 15, 1989. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for greeting‑card‑type products that could be sent by fax, because the listed goods define the scope of the record’s protection. The record does not give Hallmark control over every possible use of the words “fun fax” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows a normal progression to registration followed by a post‑registration surrender; there is no indication of opposition, cancellation proceedings or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a comparable greeting‑card offering.
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.
