BANDAI AMERICA

What this record means

The record shows that “BANDAI AMERICA” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 1243758) owned by Bandai Company, Ltd., a corporation organized in Japan; the cancellation was entered on Nov 7 1989 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only Class 028 toys – specifically miniature wind‑up, novelty, molded plastic, die‑cast, radio‑controlled, battery‑operated action toys and electronic games – so a similar name used for those kinds of toys would present the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “BANDAI” or “AMERICA.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from examination to registration and then to cancellation. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 1989, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by others, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market toys under a similar name.
