TEAM NAGANO '98
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark “TEAM NAGANO ’98” is dead; it was abandoned because the United States Olympic Committee did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance on January 19, 1999. The mark was never registered on the Principal Register. It covered a wide array of goods, including contact lenses, eyeglasses, radios, televisions, sporting‑event‑recording media, various sporting apparel, and a broad range of paper goods and printed matter, among others. A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of those categories, especially sporting‑related apparel or media. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on July 20, 1999. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in any of those goods could be viewed as infringing a mark that was once pursued by the Olympic Committee.
