FUN

What this record means

The record shows that FUN was a Principal Register trademark owned by MARS, INCORPORATED, but it is now dead because the registration was not renewed and expired, with the last status change recorded on Dec 07 1998. The only goods listed are chewing gum in class 030, so a later‑stage use of the word FUN in connection with chewing gum or similar staple foods would be the closest area of concern based on this filing. The record does not give MARS control over every possible use of the word FUN in other product categories or services. There is no prosecution history indicating a Supplemental Register filing, and the history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. Because the mark is expired, the most practical risk read is that the name FUN still carries a historical tie to chewing gum, so using it for a similar product could raise a meaningful concern, while unrelated goods are farther from the scope shown.
