NORA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NORA” was abandoned and is no longer live. It was owned by MGAE Entertainment, Inc., a California corporation, and was filed on May 17 2004 on an intent‑to‑use basis. The mark was never allowed to register; the application was abandoned in March 2006 because the owner failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance issued on July 5 2005. The goods listed in the application are a broad range of children’s toys and sporting equipment, including action figures, board games, skateboards, and protective pads for cycling and skating. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the toy and sporting goods area, especially where the goods overlap with those listed. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NORA.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For anyone thinking of using a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, but the extensive toy‑related goods list suggests a potential risk if the new use is in a closely related field.
