NINTENDO
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NINTENDO” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Nintendo of America Inc., a corporation organized in Washington. The registration covers a broad range of electronic gaming goods and services, including recorded and downloadable video game programs, game cartridges, memory cards, and related accessories, as well as various game‑related toys, educational and entertainment services, and online content. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the gaming and entertainment sectors, especially where the goods or services overlap with those listed. This record does not grant control over every use of the word “Nintendo” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history indicates a refusal in July 2025, followed by amendments and eventual registration in February 2026, showing the mark’s progression to the Principal Register. No opposition or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The latest status event is the registration confirmation on February 24, 2026. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in gaming or entertainment could be viewed as infringing or confusingly similar to this well‑established mark.
