TOKYOSerial 75576248 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: GeoCities
Class 038 - Communication Services
Class 042 - Scientific & Technology Services
Filed Oct 27, 1998
Registered May 22, 2001
The record shows that the mark “TOKYO” was once registered on the Principal Register but has been cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant, GeoCities, failed to file a declaration. The mark covered two classes: 038, which listed chat services for people interested in anime and Asian culture, and 042, which listed computer hosting and website creation services. A new user looking to adopt a similar name would face the closest concern in those specific online communication and hosting services. The record does not give control over every use of the word “TOKYO.” The prosecution history shows a refusal, an amendment, and eventual registration before cancellation, but no supplemental register activity. The last significant event was the cancellation on March 1, 2008, and no enforcement actions are recorded. If you plan to use a similar name in online chat or web hosting, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
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.
