What this record means
The record shows that PULP CITIZEN is a cancelled registration – the Principal Register entry (Reg. 5867401) was voided on April 3, 2026 because the owner, William Jack Adkins III, did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the record is marked “dead.” The registration covered only one class, 041 (Education & Entertainment), specifically “providing on‑line digital publications in the nature of articles featuring commentary in the field of news and entertainment via the Internet,” with first use dated February 1, 2019. A similar name used for any online news‑or‑entertainment content would be the closest area of concern, while uses outside that narrow digital‑publication scope fall farther from the listed protection. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “PULP” or “CITIZEN.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply shows the usual examination steps, amendment, and registration before the later 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 comparable online news or entertainment service, because the cancelled mark still signals prior use in that exact field.
