DRAGON BALL Z
Dead · Withdrawn DEAD/APPLICATION/Withdrawn/AbandonedWhat this record means
The record shows that “DRAGON BALL Z” is not a live mark – it was abandoned on Nov 12 1996 after the applicant filed an express abandonment, and the USPTO lists it as a dead, withdrawn application owned by Saban Entertainment, Inc. The filing covered a broad range of Class 028 goods, essentially toys and games such as action‑figure toys, skateboards, board games, video‑game machines, and related accessories, so a similar name used for any of those types of products would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Saban control over every possible use of the words “dragon ball” or “Z” in other industries. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the abandonment without any refusal or amendment steps. The latest meaningful event is the express abandonment notice on Nov 12 1996, and no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a toy or game brand with a similar name.
