WORDTANKSerial 73786249 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Mar 13, 1989
Registered Feb 20, 1990
The record shows that WORDTANK was registered on the Principal Register to Canon Kabushiki Kaisha but was cancelled on August 26 1996 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead and not enforceable as a live registration. The registration covered only one class—Class 009 for “computerized dictionary and case therefor”—so a similar name used on unrelated goods would be far from the scope shown here, while a name applied to any computerized dictionary‑type product would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Canon control over every possible use of the word “WORDTANK.” The prosecution history shows the normal flow of examination, publication for opposition and eventual registration, followed by the later cancellation for non‑filing; there is no indication of any oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a product that functions as a computerized dictionary, but the risk drops sharply for other types of goods or services.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
