BANDAI

What this record means

The record shows that the mark BANDAI (Serial 75029397, Registration 2115110) is cancelled, with the last meaningful event being a Section 8 cancellation on Aug 28 2004 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable declaration; the owner listed is Kabushiki Kaisha Bandai, a corporation organized in Japan. The registration covered only Class 030 – staple foods such as candy, chocolate, bubble gum, cookies, ice cream, sorbets, frozen confections, peanut‑butter confectionery chips, confectionery chips for baking and confectioner’s sugar – so a similar name used for those kinds of food items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “BANDAI” in other product categories or services. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal examination, publication and eventual cancellation steps. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 action, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market comparable confectionery items under a similar name.
