ANIME EXPO CHU
Pending · Under Examination LIVE/APPLICATION/Under Examination
What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for “ANIME EXPO CHU” owned by The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation, a public‑benefit corporation in California, and it is being pursued on the Principal Register. The goods and services listed fall in class 035 (promoting awareness of Japanese animation and culture and arranging trade‑show exhibitions in that field) and class 041 (educational panels, workshops, live appearances, concerts, contests, film displays, cosplay, fashion shows, cultural conventions and exhibitions related to Japanese animation, comics and culture). A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for any of those advertising, exhibition or entertainment activities, but the record does not extend control to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows a series of four extensions of time to file a Statement of Use, the most recent being granted on June 15 2026, indicating the application is still under examination. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning to use a comparable name in the same animation‑related event or educational space.
