DAN HICKS AND THE HOT LICKSSerial 76597290 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Hicks, Dan
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Jun 14, 2004
Registered Aug 16, 2005
The record shows that “DAN HICKS AND THE HOT LICKS” was a registered service mark on the Principal Register, owned by Dan Hicks, but it was cancelled on September 28 2012 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered entertainment services in the name of live musical performances and concerts, class 041, with first use in 1968. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of live music or concert promotion. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides exclusive rights, but the record does not erase any prior rights that may still exist in other classes or jurisdictions. The prosecution history shows a normal examination and publication sequence, with no Supplemental Register involvement. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific live‑music service scope remains a potential point of concern.

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.
