FUNKY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FUNKY” was registered on the Principal Register on September 28, 1971 and was cancelled on September 8, 1981 because the owner, Darco Music Strings, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark is therefore dead and no longer provides any legal protection. The record does not list specific goods or services, so the scope of the original registration is unknown from this data; the closest concern would arise only if a new mark were used for goods or services that overlap with those that the original owner was likely protecting. Because the mark is cancelled, it does not establish control over the wording in any class. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations after publication appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation in 1981. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means there is no active registration to conflict with, but the absence of a current record does not guarantee that no other rights exist.
