BDE BANDAI DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark BDE BANDAI DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT was abandoned on January 20, 1999, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Bandai Digital Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The only goods and services on file are in International Class 041 and cover entertainment services such as providing on‑line computer games, producing and distributing motion‑picture and animated films, producing live radio and television programs, and offering on‑line educational quizzes, contests, games, news and advice. A similar name used for anything in that entertainment‑and‑education space would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the application never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on January 20, 1999, and the prosecution history shows only examiner assignments and a non‑final action before that date, with no enforcement actions recorded. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name in the same entertainment‑education field.
