What this record means
The record shows that “AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR” is no longer active – it was abandoned on September 4 2017 because the owner, Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc., did not file a required Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The only goods listed are in International Class 024 and consist of towels, bed sheets, washcloths, bed skirts, blankets, pillow covers, curtains, quilts, textile napkins, tablecloths, throws, cloth pennants and flags. A similar name used on any of those textile or household‑linen items would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “American Ninja Warrior.” No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear in the file, and the abandonment notice is the most recent status event. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable mark for similar textile products.
