BANDAI ACTION KITS UNIVERSAL CUP BAKUC

What this record means

The record shows that “BANDAI ACTION KITS UNIVERSAL CUP BAKUC” is cancelled – the U.S. registration was terminated on September 26 2016 after the underlying Madrid‑Protocol international registration was cancelled, and the owner listed is Kabushiki Kaisha Bandai (BANDAI Co., Ltd.). The registration covered Class 028 goods – toy action figures, toy construction sets, toy model hobby craft kits, jigsaw puzzles, dolls, marionettes, plush toys, trading‑card game cards and playing cards – so a similar name used on any of those types of toys would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “BANDAI,” “ACTION KITS,” or “UNIVERSAL CUP” in unrelated industries. This was a Principal Register filing; the prosecution history shows an initial refusal in early 2007, a subsequent allowance and registration in January 2008, and later cancellation tied to the international registration’s demise. The latest meaningful event is the September 2016 cancellation, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a toy‑related brand with a similar name.
