What this record means
The record shows that “CAPTAIN MARVEL” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Marvel Characters, Inc. The mark covers a wide range of paper goods and printed matter, including fiction books, comic books, magazines, calendars, greeting cards, posters, stickers, and related items, with first use in commerce on March 1, 2019. A similar name used for any of those goods would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specified goods. The prosecution history shows a standard examination, with a statement of use accepted and a notice of allowance issued before registration. The latest maintenance event is the acceptance of a Section 8 declaration on December 15, 2025, keeping the mark active until the next required renewal. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. If you’re thinking of a similar name for paper or printed products, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
