DISNEY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DISNEY” was once registered on the Principal Register under serial 71233923, owned by Disney Hats, a corporation organized in New York. The registration expired on January 4, 1989 because it was not renewed, so the mark is now dead and no longer protected. The goods covered were caps and hats for men and women, class 025, first used in commerce in 1885. A similar name would raise the closest concern if it were used for hats or related headwear, but the record does not give the mark any authority over other goods or services. The prosecution history lists only notices of suit in 2008 and a renewal in 1966; no opposition or cancellation actions appear. With no enforcement activity recorded, the supplied history shows no visible enforcement signals. For someone looking at a similar name, the risk is limited to headwear, and the mark’s expired status means it no longer blocks use in that area.
