KUNOICHI

What this record means

The record shows that KUNOICHI is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the applicant, Kabushiki Kaisha Aruma Baba Giken, failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment dated Aug 22 2002. The filing, made under an intent‑to‑use basis on Nov 18 1999, listed goods in International Class 009 covering computer protection systems, various electronic circuits, magnetic and optical discs, and related computer hardware and software for network security. Because the record only covers those technical computer‑related items, a similar name used for unrelated products such as clothing, food, or services outside the computer‑security arena would be farther from the scope shown here, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history shows a series of examiner assignments and a non‑final action in May 2000 before the final abandonment, but no supplemental‑register filing appears. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market security‑related software or hardware under a similar name, but the risk drops sharply for dissimilar goods.
