What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FUNKY RED HAT CHICKEN SANDWICH” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, David Lee Kuykendall, failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on May 9 2012 and was published for opposition on October 23 2012, with a Notice of Allowance issued on December 18 2012. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, covering sandwiches, specifically chicken sandwiches. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not grant the owner control over every use of the words “chicken sandwich” or “funky red hat.” The closest concern for a new name would arise if it were used for chicken sandwiches, as that is the exact goods listed. The record shows no opposition, cancellation, or court action, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but using the same or very similar wording for chicken sandwiches could still raise a concern due to the prior registration.
