SUPERMANSerial 77578832 · Principal Register
Live · Registered
Owner: DC COMICS
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Sep 25, 2008
Registered May 05, 2009
The record shows that the mark “SUPERMAN” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by DC COMICS, a partnership organized in New York. The registration covers class 030, specifically sugar confectionery such as candy, first used in commerce in 1992. A new name that includes “SUPERMAN” used for candy or related sweet products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give DC COMICS control over every use of the word “SUPERMAN”; it applies only to the goods listed. The mark’s status is current, with the latest renewal event noted in May 2019. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name in a different category, the risk is lower, but using the mark for candy or similar sweets would be a meaningful concern.
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.
