TOKYO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TOKYO” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Unison Hardware, Inc., failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on October 12, 2022 and the abandonment notice was sent on September 25, 2024. The goods listed are metal door handles, first used in commerce on July 1, 2005. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the word “TOKYO” in all contexts, but it does indicate that the owner once sought protection for that specific product. The prosecution history shows a final refusal followed by a suspension and eventual abandonment, with no indication that the mark moved to the Supplemental Register. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be for metal door handles; in other goods or services the risk is farther removed, but the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable.
