THE NAME GAME
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “THE NAME GAME” is an abandoned application, filed on Dec 16 2020 by the individual Riaz Malik, and the USPTO marked it dead on Jun 30 2022 after the applicant failed to respond to a final refusal. The only goods listed are “Board games; Card games; Memory games” in International Class 028, so a similar name used for toys, games or related entertainment would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated categories such as clothing or software would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never entered the register, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “THE NAME GAME.” The prosecution history shows a final refusal issued Dec 17 2021, followed by abandonment notices on Jun 30 2022, confirming the application never progressed to registration. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a game‑related brand with a similar name.
