FUNKY CONES

What this record means

The record shows that “FUNKY CONES” is a live, registered service mark owned by Vence McNairy. It is registered on the Principal Register for class 043, covering ice‑cream shop services in the nature of a restaurant, with first use in commerce on January 24, 2021. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses offering or advertising ice‑cream shop or restaurant services, especially those that might be perceived as a restaurant or food service. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “funky” or “cones” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward approval and publication for opposition, with no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register movement. The most recent event is the registration confirmation on October 29, 2024; no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is that the mark could be challenged for use in the same or closely related food‑service area.
