Owner: DC COMICS
Class 032 - Light Beverages
Filed Aug 23, 2005
The record shows that the mark “SUPERMAN” was abandoned by DC COMICS, a partnership organized in New York, and is no longer live. The abandoned application covered light beverages, including vegetable juice, sweet rice‑based drinks, malt syrups, fruit powders, lemonades, cola syrups, soft drinks, fruit nectars, seltzer water, soda water, drinking water, sports drinks, and mineral or spring water. A similar name used in any of those beverage categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds a registered right, but the history does not give anyone unrestricted use of the word; other rights could still exist elsewhere. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed, the owner filed a Statement of Use extension, and then failed to file a use statement, leading to abandonment. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. If you’re thinking of a similar name for a beverage, this abandoned record suggests a moderate risk of confusion with DC COMICS’ prior claim.

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.
