KONNICHIWA! CAFE
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that KONNICHIWA! CAFE, owned by Konnichiwa Cafe LLC, was registered on the Principal Register for “Restaurant and café services; Restaurant services” (International Class 043) but was cancelled on January 27, 2023 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The goods and services are limited to restaurant‑type operations, so a similar name used for a coffee shop, café, or other food‑service business would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields such as apparel or software would fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Konnichiwa” or “café.” No enforcement actions like oppositions or cancellations by a third party appear in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a restaurant‑related brand with a comparable name, because the cancelled registration still signals that the USPTO once linked the wording to food‑service offerings.
