What this record means
The record shows that the mark “G‑SHOCK” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The owner listed is NAKI INTERNATIONAL, a corporation organized in California. The only goods listed are video game hardware accessories, a narrow category within electrical and scientific apparatus. A similar name used for products or services in that same niche would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a final refusal mailed in December 2002, followed by an abandonment in July 2003, with no subsequent maintenance or renewal events. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if used in the same field.
