GIANT DEATHSNAKE

What this record means

The record shows that “GIANT DEATHSNAKE” is a cancelled service mark; the registration was voided on April 28 2023 because the owner, Francis Ausley, did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the USPTO lists the mark as “dead.” It was registered on the Principal Register for Class 041, covering entertainment services such as live visual and audio performances—including musical band, rock group, gymnastics, dance and ballet shows—first used in commerce on October 15 2015. A later applicant using a similar name for comparable live‑performance services would run into the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Giant Deathsnake.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from filing to registration and then to cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a live‑performance brand with a name that echoes “Giant Deathsnake.”
