PULP FICTION

What this record means
The record shows a live Principal Register registration (Serial 86086351, Registration 5380817) owned by Lee Caplin, an individual, with a disclaimer that the mark is “PULP FICTION.” It covers comic books and graphic novels in Class 016 and a range of entertainment‑related services in Class 041, including electronic publishing of fiction and non‑fiction, television drama production and broadcast, online library and news‑portal services. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for any of those printed or digital storytelling, publishing or TV‑related offerings; uses outside those categories fall farther from the listed scope but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of the Section 8 (six‑year) and Section 15 (ownership) declarations on Oct 4 2024. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable name in the same publishing or entertainment fields.
