BANDAI ENTERTAINMENT

What this record means

The record shows that “BANDAI ENTERTAINMENT” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status dead) owned by Kabushiki Kaisha Bandai aka Bandai Co., Ltd., and the cancellation was entered on June 17 2016 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The registration covered Class 009 goods such as downloadable still and moving images (with or without sound), pre‑recorded compact discs featuring music, downloadable computer game programs and software, pre‑recorded audio/video media, and motion‑picture films featuring animated stories; the concern is therefore focused on digital media, video games and related entertainment content. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Bandai” or “Entertainment” in other industries. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2016; no further dates are listed. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 filing, or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for digital entertainment products, because the cancelled registration still signals prior use in that space.
