DEATHANDTAXESSerial 85541462 · Principal Register

Owner: SPIN DIGITAL MEDIA, LLC
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Feb 13, 2012
Registered Oct 22, 2013
The record shows that “DEATHANDTAXES” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by SPIN DIGITAL MEDIA, LLC, a California limited‑liability company, and it is currently registered. The registration covers Class 041 services – specifically “on‑line journals, namely, blogs featuring news analysis and editorial content.” A later‑filed mark that uses the same wording for a similar online‑blog or news‑analysis service would run into the closest record‑based concern, because the goods and services listed are narrowly focused on that type of digital publishing. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “death” or “taxes” in unrelated fields. The most recent meaningful event is the March 25 2024 acceptance of the Section 8 (10‑year) renewal, confirming the mark’s continued active status. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable online‑journal brand.
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.
