FUN FAX

What this record means

The record shows that FUN FAX is an abandoned application, not a live registration, and the owner listed is Abrams Gentile Entertainment, Inc., a New York corporation that filed the intent‑to‑use claim on November 5, 1991. The only goods covered are “toys and game machines; namely, a toy facsimile machine” in International Class 028, so a similar name used for any toy or game‑related product would be the closest area of concern based on this filing. The record does not give the owner any control over the word “fax” or “fun fax” in other industries or for unrelated goods. The prosecution history shows the application moved through approval for publication, an examiner’s amendment, a notice of allowance that required a Statement of Use, a granted extension, and finally an abandonment on September 2, 1993 because no use statement was filed. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a toy‑related brand with a similar name, but the risk is limited to that narrow product category.
