TOKYO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TOKYO” is no longer active; it was cancelled on May 28 2005 because the registrant, Beverly Hills Internet, did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on the Supplemental Register on August 25 1998 for services in class 042, specifically “promoting the goods and services of others through advertising on a global computer network.” The prosecution history indicates that the application was initially refused for descriptiveness, then amended and approved for the Supplemental Register. No later maintenance filings or enforcement actions appear in the supplied documents, so the history shows no visible enforcement activity. Because the mark is only on the Supplemental Register and covers a narrow advertising service, a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would present a farther concern, but the record does not give control over all uses of the word. If you’re thinking of a similar name, this history suggests a meaningful concern in the online advertising space.
