Filed Jun 01, 2007
The record shows that the “ANIME” application filed by Bandai Visual Kabushiki Kaisha was abandoned on September 29, 2010 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The filing covered a wide range of digital and electronic goods and services, including video‑game software, downloadable music and images, retail and wholesale services for those items, digital transmission of data, entertainment services that provide non‑downloadable animation and games, and search‑engine and software‑design services across classes 009, 035, 038, 041 and 042. Because the record is limited to those specific categories, a similar name used in a different field—say, clothing or restaurant services—would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “ANIME.” The prosecution history shows the application moved through examination, received a final refusal and was ultimately abandoned; no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “ANIME” for digital media, gaming or related online services, but the risk is lower for unrelated industries.
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.
