DARK OF THE MOON

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DARK OF THE MOON” was abandoned by its owner, HASBRO, INC., a corporation organized in Rhode Island, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was never registered and is not live. It was applied for under the Principal Register for goods in class 016, which includes a wide range of paper goods and printed matter such as comic books, notebooks, trading cards, greeting cards, stickers, calendars, and related items. Because the record covers only this class, a similar name used for products outside of paper goods and printed matter would be farther from the specific scope shown, but the record does not establish control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of extensions and eventual abandonment, with the last status event being the abandonment notice on May 27, 2013. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would arise if the new use falls within class 016 and involves similar paper‑based goods; otherwise the risk is lower, though the record does not guarantee freedom to use the wording elsewhere.
