DAN HICKS AND THE HOT LICKS
Serial 85582749 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled

Owner: Hicks, Dan
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Mar 28, 2012
Registered Nov 20, 2012

The record shows that “DAN HICKS AND THE HOT LICKS” is a dead, cancelled service mark that was once registered on the Principal Register. The owner listed is Dan Hicks, an individual. The mark covered entertainment services, specifically live musical performances and concerts, under class 041. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same area of live music and entertainment. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only protects the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was registered in 2012, published for opposition in September 2012, and later cancelled in June 2019 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark no longer provides enforceable rights, but the earlier registration still signals that the name was once protected for live music services.

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.

Your name deserves a straight answer.
