The record shows that “SMILE BALL” is a dead, cancelled registration on the Principal Register, owned by House Foods Group Inc., a corporation organized in Japan. The mark covered a wide range of food‑related goods, including pharmaceuticals, meats and processed foods, staple foods, unprocessed edible seaweeds, and retail store services for foods and beverages. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these food and beverage categories, especially where the goods or services are directly comparable to those listed. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the goods and services shown. The prosecution history indicates a refusal in July 2016, a subsequent registration in May 2017, and a cancellation in December 2023. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk of infringement, but the goods covered remain a potential point of concern.

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.
