The record shows that HYPHEN is a live Principal Register trademark owned by “Chinese for Affirmative Action,” a charitable non‑profit corporation organized in California, and it has been renewed as of Dec 20 2024. The registration covers printed magazines and newsletters in the field of general human interest (Class 016) and a website that provides non‑downloadable publications, online general‑interest magazines, and electronic magazine publication (Class 041). A similar name used for comparable magazine or online publishing services would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “Hyphen.” The latest meaningful event is the acceptance of the Section 8 (10‑year) renewal on Dec 20 2024, and no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same publishing space.
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.
