FUNKY AFRICAN

What this record means

The record shows that “FUNKY AFRICAN” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by Funky African LLC, a Virginia limited liability company. The mark protects custom‑made t‑shirts, caps, clothing, and pants under class 025, with first use and use in commerce recorded on April 14, 2024. A similar name would raise the closest concern for apparel items in that class, especially custom or branded clothing. This registration does not give the owner control over every use of the words “funky” or “African” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history indicates the mark was approved for publication and then registered on March 4, 2025, with no opposition or cancellation events recorded. The latest status event is the registration itself on that date. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. If you plan to use a comparable name for clothing, you should be aware that the mark’s scope is limited to the listed goods and that the owner could enforce rights within that narrow field.
