PULP FICTIONSerial 85890653 · Supplemental Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Caplin, Lee
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Mar 29, 2013
The record shows that “PULP FICTION” is an abandoned application, listed as dead after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated June 2 2020; the owner is Lee Caplin, an individual. The filing covered only Class 016 – paper goods and printed matter – specifically “Comic books,” so a later use of the same phrase on comic books or similar printed entertainment would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown. The mark sits on the Supplemental Register; the prosecution history indicates the USPTO issued a final refusal in September 2019, the applicant attempted reinstatement in April 2020, but ultimately the application was abandoned. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “PULP FICTION” for comic‑book‑type products, because the record directly covers that area.
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.
