SUPERMANSerial 77579181 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: DC COMICS
Class 032 - Light Beverages
Filed Sep 25, 2008
The record shows that the mark “SUPERMAN” was abandoned by DC COMICS, a partnership organized in New York, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance issued on August 4, 2009. The mark was never registered; it was only published for opposition in May 2009 and then abandoned in March 2010. The only goods listed are light beverages, including vegetable juice, fruit drinks, soft drinks, and related preparations. Because the mark was never granted, it does not give DC COMICS control over every use of the word “Superman.” The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and subsequent abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the beverage sector, but outside that area the record offers no visible restriction.
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.
