BATMANSerial 74015260 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: DC COMICS
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Dec 29, 1989
Registered Nov 13, 1990
The record shows that the mark “BATMAN” was registered on the Principal Register by DC COMICS, a corporation organized in New York, but the registration was cancelled on January 15 2016 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered the single class 030, which lists “breakfast cereal” as the goods, and the first use was in November 1989. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark no longer provides any protection, and the record does not give DC COMICS control over the word “BATMAN” in any other context. The history shows no oppositions, extensions, or court actions, so there is no visible enforcement activity. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation in 2016. If you are thinking of using a similar name for a product or service that is not breakfast cereal, the closest concern in this record is the cancelled cereal mark, but the absence of current protection means the risk is limited to potential future claims by DC COMICS or other owners of related marks.

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.
