NINTENDO
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NINTENDO” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Nintendo of America Inc., a corporation organized in Washington. It covers a wide range of goods and services, including paper goods and printed matter such as stickers, notebooks, and calendars; games and playthings such as action figures, board games, and electronic video‑game equipment; and services for repairing video‑game systems and equipment. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same categories—especially in the gaming and paper‑goods areas—because the mark’s scope is specifically tied to those goods and services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Nintendo” in unrelated contexts. The most recent significant event is the renewal of the registration on October 21, 2022, which keeps the mark active. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active, broad‑scope registration suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in gaming, toy, and paper‑goods markets.
