DRAGONKILLER SWORD

What this record means

The record shows the mark DRAGONKILLER SWORD is abandoned, not live or registered, and the owner listed is KONAMI CORPORATION, a corporation organized in Japan. The filing covered computer‑related gaming products (class 009 such as video game programs, cartridges, CD‑ROMs and joysticks), printed game‑related materials (class 016 including strategy guide books, magazines, posters, trading cards and stationery) and physical game equipment and toys (class 028 covering stand‑alone video game machines, handheld units, board and card games, dice, chips, action figures and dolls). A similar name used for any of those gaming‑focused goods would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that scope would be farther from what the record actually protects. Because the application was abandoned after the Notice of Allowance, the record does not give KONAMI control over every possible use of the words “Dragonkiller Sword.” The latest meaningful event is the abandonment status dated May 13 2003, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a similar name for video‑game or related merchandise.
