What this record means
The record shows that the AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR mark is dead, owned by TOKYO BROADCASTING SYSTEM TELEVISION, INC., a Japanese corporation. This mark covered various household linens and textiles, such as towels, bed sheets, and blankets. A similar name would create the closest concern in this area of goods. The record does not establish control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history does not indicate a switch to the Supplemental Register, as the application was abandoned due to no Statement of Use or Extension Request being filed after the Notice of Allowance. The latest meaningful event was the abandonment notice mailed on September 5, 2017. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if considering a similar name for related household goods, as it suggests the owner may have had an interest in protecting this mark in the past.
