FUNKY FISH COMPANY

What this record means

The record shows that “FUNKY FISH COMPANY” is a dead mark owned by High Liner Foods (USA) Inc. The mark was filed on February 19, 2016 and was abandoned on September 24, 2018 because the owner never filed a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The goods listed are fish, not live; frozen fish; and seafood, not live, all in class 029. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, specifically for packaged or frozen fish products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only covers the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of extensions and a final abandonment, with no evidence of opposition or enforcement actions. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice in September 2018. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the same class of goods still presents a potential concern.
