AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR

What this record means

The record shows that “AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, TOKYO BROADCASTING SYSTEM TELEVISION, INC., failed to file a required Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued on August 2 2016, with the abandonment dated September 4 2017. The only goods listed are electric cooking ovens, electric cooking pots, electric frypans, electric broilers, electric food warmers and electric toasters in International Class 011, so a similar name used for kitchen appliances would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over the words “American,” “Ninja” or “Warrior” in other product categories or services. Because the application never reached registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note, and the prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand kitchen‑appliance products with a comparable name, since the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO examined a similar mark for those specific goods.
