What this record means
The record shows a live Principal Register service mark owned by KABUSHIKI KAISHA BANDAI, filed on July 2 1996 and registered on May 5 1998, with the most recent status update on May 4 2018 confirming it has been renewed. The registration covers “entertainment and educational services, namely, providing computer games, music, animation, movies, and educational information and materials relating thereto that may be accessed by global computer network users” in International Class 041, so a similar name used for online gaming, streaming, or related digital media would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “BANDAI” in other fields. There is no prosecution history indicating a Supplemental Register filing, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable digital‑entertainment brand.
