HYPHENSerial 86977473 · Principal Register

Owner: Happiness Glue, LLC
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Sep 25, 2013
Registered Dec 01, 2015
The record shows that “HYPHEN” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by Happiness Glue, LLC, a Nevada limited‑liability company, and it is currently active. It covers entertainment services—specifically live musical, comedy and ventriloquist performances—so a later business using the same word for similar live‑performance entertainment would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The registration does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “hyphen” in other contexts or industries. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path to registration, with a statement of use filed and accepted, and no supplemental‑register steps appear. The most recent meaningful event is the February 26 2026 notice of acceptance of Sections 8 and 9, confirming the first ten‑year renewal. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable entertainment‑service 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.
