What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FUNKY” was once registered on the Principal Register but was cancelled on October 19, 1988 because the registrant, a corporation organized in California, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered women’s apparel—dresses, suits, pants, shirts, blouses, jackets, jumpsuits and shorts—under class 025. A new name that is very similar to “FUNKY” and used for the same or closely related clothing items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer confers exclusive rights, but the record does not remove any other potential rights that might exist elsewhere. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or court actions appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 1988. For someone looking at a similar name, the risk is that the cancelled mark still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that specific apparel line, so caution is warranted.
