WORDNIK GAMES

What this record means

The record shows that WORDNIK GAMES, owned by Madeleine L. Van Hecke, is a cancelled Principal Register registration; the cancellation was entered on May 5 2007 because the required Section 8 declaration wasn’t filed. The registration covered only “Word games employing cards and booklets” in International Class 028, so a later use of the same or a similar name in that narrow field would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Wordnik” or “Games.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal examination steps leading to registration and later cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a word‑game product with a similar name, but it isn’t a blanket block on all uses.
