VIPER VENOM V-2

What this record means

The record shows that “VIPER VENOM V‑2” is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by Todd A. Kuhn, with the cancellation entered on Dec 28 2012 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The registration covered only Class 028 goods described as “ARCHERY HUNTING ARROWHEAD,” with first use in Jan 2004, so a similar name used for anything outside archery or hunting equipment would be the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “viper,” “venom,” or “V‑2.” The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, received a Notice of Allowance, was allowed on the Principal Register, and then was cancelled for non‑maintenance; there is no indication of opposition, cancellation proceedings, or other enforcement activity in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand archery‑related products with a similar name, because the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in that niche.
