NINTENDO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NINTENDO” was abandoned by Nintendo of America Inc. after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was never registered and is therefore not live. The abandoned application covered two narrow classes: class 005 for certain pharmaceuticals such as vitamins, cough suppressants, air fresheners and bandages used as protective coverings, and class 026 for hair accessories like barrettes, hair clips, hair bands, hair pins and ornamental hair combs. Because the goods listed are very specific, a similar name used for unrelated products would present a far‑removed concern, but the record does not eliminate the possibility of other rights. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest record‑based concern would be in the same narrow categories of pharmaceuticals or hair accessories, and the history suggests that the mark’s abandonment leaves no active claim in those areas.
