What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FUNKY MONKEY” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Charles E. Waldman, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on February 29, 2024, and the abandonment was recorded on January 8, 2025. It was applied for on the Principal Register under class 033, covering liquors, spirits and liqueurs; distilled liquor. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but it does create a record‑based concern for any new use that is similar in goods or services to distilled spirits. The prosecution history shows a straightforward refusal and abandonment sequence with no Supplemental Register activity. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the distilled liquor market, and the abandoned status suggests the owner is not currently protecting the mark, but the record still signals potential similarity issues in that specific category.
