What this record means
The record shows that the mark GROOVE MALL was abandoned after an inter‑partes decision by the TTAB, with the last status date of October 19 2005, and the owner listed as Bandai America Incorporated, a California corporation. The application covered goods in International Class 028, specifically dolls, doll accessories, toy cases, doll clothing, doll furniture, doll house furnishings, musical toys, paper dolls, toy play sets, talking toys, toy bakeware and cookware, toy banks, and toy vehicles. Because the filing was for those toy‑related items, a similar name used on comparable toys or related accessories would present the closest record‑based concern, while use on unrelated products would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give Bandai control over every possible use of the words “Groove Mall.” No prosecution history is provided, and the history contains no visible enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a toy‑related brand with a similar name.
