FUN STARTS WITH A SCANSerial 98475132 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Mars, Incorporated
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Mar 29, 2024
The record shows the application for “FUN STARTS WITH A SCAN” is abandoned, so it is not a live or registered mark; the owner listed is Mars, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation. The filing covered only class 030 – “Confectionery, namely, candy and chocolate” – so the closest area of concern would be any similar branding used on candy, chocolate or related snack foods. The record does not give Mars control over the phrase in other product categories or services. The prosecution history indicates the application proceeded to a Notice of Allowance on November 19 2024, then received a single extension of time to file a Statement of Use, but no use statement was ever filed, leading to an abandonment notice and final abandonment on December 22 2025. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for confectionery, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
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.
