What this record means
The record shows that “AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR” is dead – the application was abandoned on March 4 2019 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc., a corporation organized in Japan. The filing covered only Class 029, which includes a long list of foods such as applesauce, canned soups, frozen vegetables, cheese‑cracker combos and other processed or frozen items; a similar name used for any of those food products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “American Ninja Warrior,” especially outside the listed food categories. Because the mark never reached registration on the Principal Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on March 4 2019, and no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand food items similar to those listed.
