What this record means
The record shows that the mark “AFRICAN CARTOON NETWORK (ACN) AFRICANCARTOONNETWORK.ORG AFRICANCARTOONNETWORK.NET AFRICANCARTOONNETWORK.COM” is dead and was never registered. The owner listed is Whimsy Works LLC, a limited liability company organized in Missouri. The goods and services listed in class 041 cover the production and distribution of television shows and movies, specifically animated movies. Because the mark is dead, the record does not grant any control over the wording, but it does indicate that a similar name could raise the closest concern for animated television or film production. The prosecution history shows only a new application entry on September 4, 2024, with no further examination or amendment. The latest status event is the March 17, 2025 declaration that the application was void for missing minimum filing date requirements. No enforcement actions or oppositions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of confusion in the animated television and film space, but the dead status means no active registration to enforce.
