What this record means
The record shows that the mark ANIME & OTAKU TALK SHOW was filed by individual Isaac Beverly on Dec 03 2024, but it is now dead because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with abandonment noted on Sep 17 2025. The only goods listed are “Entertainment services, namely, providing video podcasts in the field of Anime” in International Class 041, so a similar name used for anime‑related video podcasts would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “anime” or “otaku” in other contexts or industries. There is no indication of any opposition, cancellation or court action in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a podcast about anime, because the abandoned application still signals that the USPTO saw a potential conflict in that specific service area.
