GUARANTEED BY BANDAI HOBBY CENTER

What this record means

The record shows a cancelled Principal Register registration (serial 79111403, registration 4290699) owned by KABUSHIKI KAISHA BANDAI (BANDAI Co., Ltd.), with the status date of Aug 24 2020 indicating the U.S. registration was cancelled because the underlying Madrid Protocol international registration was cancelled in whole or in part. The mark was limited to class 028 goods – “scale model kits, toy model kit robots, dolls, toys, namely, robot figures and accessories therefor” – so a similar name used for toys or hobby‑related products would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields would fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording “GUARANTEED BY BANDAI HOBBY CENTER.” The prosecution history shows an initial refusal in July 2012 followed by approval for registration on the Principal Register in February 2013, and later cancellation after the international registration died. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that will appear on toys or model kits, because the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in that specific market.
