What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NINTENDO” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Nintendo of America Inc., a corporation organized in Washington. The registration covers services in class 035, specifically online retail and downloadable computer, video and electronic games, accessories for those games, trading cards, strategy guides, consumer information services, loyalty programs, and related promotional activities. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any business offering or selling video or computer games, related accessories, or related promotional services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Nintendo,” only over the specified services. No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear in the supplied data. The latest status event is a renewal noted on March 22, 2021. With no visible enforcement activity, the record suggests a meaningful risk for anyone using the name in the same or closely related gaming and promotional services.
