FUNKY'S HOT SAUCE FACTORY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FUNKY'S HOT SAUCE FACTORY” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Mini, Matthew J, a limited liability company organized in Washington. The mark was filed on February 1, 2021 for class 030, covering staple foods such as chili sauce, habanero sauce, and hot sauce, with first use in commerce on February 15, 2020. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not grant control over the wording in any context, but the specific goods listed—hot sauces—represent the closest area of concern for anyone using a similar name in that product line. The prosecution history shows a straightforward sequence of office actions and an eventual abandonment, with no evidence of opposition, cancellation, or court proceedings. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of a similar name for a hot sauce product, this record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the abandoned mark’s earlier claims.
