What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark NINJA WARRIOR owned by Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc., a limited corporation organized in Japan, and it is being pursued on the Principal Register under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods listed are all in International Class 009 and focus on downloadable video‑game and virtual‑reality software, such as “Downloadable video game programs; Downloadable video game software; Downloadable co‑op video game software; Recorded computer virtual reality game software; Downloadable virtual reality game software; Downloadable interactive multimedia computer game programs.” Because the claim is limited to these types of software, a similar name used for unrelated products—say clothing or food—would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Ninja” or “Warrior.” The latest meaningful event is the issuance of a Notice of Allowance on May 5 2026, which now requires a Statement of Use or an extension within six months. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions, so the supplied history shows none. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a video‑game or VR product with a similar name, because the record directly covers that market segment.
