THE NAME BEHIND THE GAMESerial 78182279 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Vivendi Universal Games, Inc.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Nov 06, 2002
The record shows that “THE NAME BEHIND THE GAME” is no longer active – it was abandoned on February 13 2006 after the applicant, Vivendi Universal Games, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, and the USPTO issued an abandonment notice on April 20 2006. The only goods listed are “computer game software and instruction manuals sold therewith as a unit” in International Class 009, so a similar name used for video‑game software or related manuals would be the closest area of concern; uses outside that narrow scope are not covered by this filing. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the standard allowance and the subsequent failure to show use, not a supplemental‑register amendment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand game‑related software with the same phrase.
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.
