What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SUPERMAN” is dead, having been abandoned by DC COMICS, a partnership organized in New York, because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 029, which covers a wide range of processed and dried foods such as vegetables, fruits, meats, and related products. A similar name used in the same or closely related food categories would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown. The abandonment event on March 8, 2010 is the latest meaningful status change, and no opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a significant risk of conflict if the name is used for comparable food products.
