What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CAPTAIN MARVEL” is no longer active; it was cancelled on November 7 2025 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Marvel Characters, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, covering staple foods such as coffee, corn‑based snack foods, corn chips, frozen confections, and ice cream, with first use on January 6 2019. Because the mark is cancelled, it no longer grants exclusive rights, but the history still indicates that Marvel had claimed protection for that specific food category. The record shows no opposition, cancellation, or court action, so there is no visible enforcement activity. A new user considering a similar name in the same food category would face the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation on November 7 2025. Overall, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the prior registration suggests that Marvel once viewed the name as distinctive for those foods.
