FUN
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that “FUN” was registered to Maher and Maher Inc., a California corporation, for “telephones and parts thereof” in International Class 009, but the registration was cancelled on Dec 12 1994 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration to maintain the mark. Because the protection was limited to telephone equipment, a later user of “FUN” for unrelated goods—say clothing, food or software—would face the closest record‑based concern only if the goods overlap with electronic devices or accessories. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “FUN” in any context. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from approval to registration and then to cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market electronic hardware under a similar name.
