AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR

What this record means

The record shows the mark AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR is dead – it was abandoned on Oct 20 2014 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is TOKYO BROADCASTING SYSTEM TELEVISION, INC., a corporation organized in Japan. The registration covered only class 041, specifically the production of television programs, series and segments and related pre‑recorded media featuring competition‑based entertainment and Japanese martial‑arts challenges broadcast on TV, satellite, audio‑video media and the internet. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern for services that involve producing or distributing comparable TV or streaming entertainment content. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the abandonment rather than a supplemental‑register amendment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice dated Oct 20 2014, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the name for entertainment‑production services, but it does not automatically block other unrelated uses.
