FISH'N FOR LOOT

What this record means

The record shows that “FISH’N FOR LOOT” is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by Bally Gaming, Inc.; the cancellation was entered on Feb 15 2019 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration to keep the registration alive. The registration covered only one class—Class 009—for “gaming machines, namely, devices which accept a wager and gaming software that generates or displays outcomes for gaming machines,” with a first use date of Feb 29 2012. Because the protection is limited to that specific type of gaming equipment, a similar name used for unrelated products would raise the closest record‑based concern in the gaming‑machine arena but would not automatically extend to other goods or services. The prosecution history shows the mark progressed through normal examination, received a Notice of Allowance, and was registered on Jul 10 2012 before later being cancelled; no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name for gaming devices, but the record does not block use in other fields.
