FUNKY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FUNKY” is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Trends International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The mark was filed on February 5, 2009 for use in commerce under §1(a) on the Principal Register, covering paper goods and printed matter such as posters and calendars first used in 2005. A similar name would raise the closest concern for those same goods, especially posters and calendars, because that is the only class and goods listed. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights on the Principal Register, but the record does not prevent anyone from using the word in unrelated contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on November 18, 2009. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to the specific goods of posters and calendars, and the mark’s dead status reduces the likelihood of conflict in that narrow area.
