DRAGON BALL

What this record means

The record shows a live Principal Register registration (serial 78147862, registration 2781905) owned by Kabushiki Kaisha Shueisha, a corporation organized in Japan, and the mark “DRAGON BALL” was renewed most recently on March 12 2024. The registration covers only class 016 – paper goods and printed matter – specifically “comic books and comic magazines” that have been in use since September 30 1998. Because the protection is limited to those printed‑matter categories, a similar name used for unrelated products such as food, apparel or software would not fall within the exact scope shown here, though the identical wording could still raise a concern in the comic‑book arena. The prosecution history is empty, so there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing or descriptiveness refusal. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comic‑book or magazine brand that uses the same wording.
