CAPTAIN MARVEL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “CAPTAIN MARVEL” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, Marvel Characters, Inc., did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on October 27, 2014 and published for opposition on December 29, 2015. The goods listed under class 029 include a wide range of meats and processed foods such as applesauce, banana chips, butter, cheese and cracker combinations, chocolate milk, dried fruit snacks, dairy products, dips, eggs, frozen meals, fruit preserves, hot dogs, marmalades, meats, nut butters, pickles, potato chips, potato salad, poultry, and many other food items. A similar name used for products in this same food category would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on April 1, 2019. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific food goods listed remain a potential point of concern.
