SAITO KONICHI

What this record means

The record shows that “SAITO KONICHI” is no longer active – it was cancelled on Nov 27 1995 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is MANO E MANO LTD., a New York corporation. The registration covered only Class 025 clothing, specifically coats, raincoats, jackets, sport jackets, suits, pants, shirts, sweaters, underwear, hosiery, socks, belts, ties and gloves, with use in commerce dating back to Nov 1985. Because the protection is limited to those apparel items, a similar name used for unrelated goods such as food, software or services would be farther from the scope shown here, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history shows the mark moved from filing in Feb 1988 to registration on May 23 1989 and then to cancellation in 1995; no opposition or cancellation proceedings appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan clothing under a similar name, but the risk drops for other product categories.
