VIPERMAN

What this record means

The record shows that “VIPERMAN” was registered on the Principal Register to Larry Hemingway as an individual, covering comic books in International Class 016, but the registration was cancelled on March 15 2008 because the owner failed to file a proper Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead and not enforceable. The goods listed are limited to comic books, so a similar name used for anything outside printed comic material would be farther from the scope shown here, while another comic‑book brand using “VIPERMAN” would raise the closest record‑based concern. The history does not indicate any oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 failure, or other enforcement actions, so the supplied file shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern only if you plan to market comic books under a similar name, because the cancelled registration no longer controls the wording in any broader sense.
