BANDAI TABLETOP GAMES
Pending · Under Examination LIVE/APPLICATION/Under Examination
What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the service mark BANDAI TABLETOP GAMES filed by KABUSHIKI KAISHA BANDAI (BANDAI Co., Ltd.) and currently sitting in the Principal Register under examination; the most recent activity is the applicant’s response to a non‑final Office action entered on Aug 31 2026. The application covers a broad set of services in classes 038 (communication services such as transmission of games and related content over the Internet), 041 (education and entertainment services including online instruction, live tabletop‑game events, and non‑downloadable computer‑game entertainment) and 042 (technology services like toy design, software development, SaaS platforms for tabletop‑game event sign‑ups and server hosting). A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for any of those listed services, especially online gaming or tabletop‑event platforms, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “BANDAI,” “TABLETOP,” or “GAMES.” The prosecution history shows a refusal followed by a response and continued examination, but there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable mark in the same digital‑gaming or entertainment space.
