DRAGONBALL Z

What this record means

The record shows a live, pending application for the mark DRAGONBALL Z owned by Kabushiki Kaisha Shueisha, filed on Nov 8 2023 and currently under examination on the Principal Register. The goods listed span class 008 (tableware such as forks, knives and spoons), class 018 (leather items, trunks, bags, umbrellas and wallets), class 024 (textile fabrics, bed and household linens, blankets) and class 030 (a range of foods and beverages including cakes, candy, coffee drinks, frozen‑yogurt drinks, chocolate, snack foods and ice cream). A similar name used on products that fall into any of those categories would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those areas are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “DRAGONBALL Z.” The prosecution history shows that after a non‑final office action in June 2024, the applicant received a Notice of Allowance in December 2024 and has been granted three successive extensions of time to file a Statement of Use, the most recent approval being emailed on June 5 2026. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market similar goods under a comparable name.
