NINTENDO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NINTENDO” was registered on the Principal Register in 1991 for cosmetics and cleaning goods such as shampoos, soaps, lotions, and perfumes, but the registration was cancelled in 1998 because the owner, Nintendo of America Inc., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The cancelled status means the mark is no longer protected, but the record still indicates that Nintendo once claimed rights to that name for those specific beauty and personal‑care products. A new user of the name in a similar category—cosmetics, hair preparations, or body lotions—would face the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event was the April 20, 1998 cancellation. For someone considering a similar name, the history suggests a moderate risk of conflict if the goods are in the same cosmetic or cleaning category.
