What this record means
The record shows that the mark “OSCAR NOVA” is dead and was abandoned by PLAYDATE KIDS PUBLISHING, INC., a California corporation, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance issued on June 12, 2007. The mark was registered on the Principal Register and covered a wide range of toys and sporting goods, including action figures, plush toys, balloons, ride‑on toys, card game equipment, toy vehicles, dolls, skateboards, and various sports balls and accessories. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the toy and sporting goods sector, especially for products that are action figures or playthings. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on December 20, 2007. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the broad toy‑related goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use overlaps those categories.
