FUN

What this record means

The record shows that FUN was a Principal Register trademark owned by AKWELL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED, a corporation organized in Ohio, but the registration is dead because it was not renewed and therefore expired, with the last status change recorded on March 2 1998. The only goods listed are condoms in International Class 010, first used in commerce on May 4 1976, so a similar name used for anything else would be far removed from the scope of this registration; the record does not give AKWELL control over every use of the word FUN in other product categories. The prosecution history simply notes the registration and the later expiration; there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing or any refusal. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. I'd treat this as a limited concern confined to condoms, meaning the risk of conflict is modest unless you plan to market a similar product.
