BDE BANDAI DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT

What this record means

The record shows the application for “BDE BANDAI DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT” is dead, having been abandoned on Jan 20 1999 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action; the owner listed is Bandai Digital Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The filing covered class 042 services, specifically providing access to a computer database for playing interactive video games, on‑line facilities for real‑time interaction about general‑interest topics, on‑line educational information on health, home improvement, cooking, business computing news and many other subjects, plus on‑line mail‑order catalog services featuring new media, travel, recreation, magazine subscriptions and family‑oriented products. A similar name used in the same class of scientific and technology services would be the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in other classes or contexts. The prosecution history shows only examiner assignments and a non‑final action before the abandonment, with no indication of a Supplemental Register filing. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable mark in the same tech‑service space.
