What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SPIDER‑MAN” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Marvel Characters, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The registration covers a wide range of clothing goods, including underwear, sleepwear, swimwear, outerwear, leisurewear, costumes, footwear, and hosiery, all first used in commerce in 1965. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any apparel or costume products in those categories, especially if the design or style evokes the superhero theme. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “spider” or “man” in unrelated contexts. The mark has been renewed, with the most recent status update on May 10, 2024, and no opposition, cancellation, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name in apparel, the visible risk is that the mark’s broad clothing coverage could create a meaningful conflict.
