What this record means
The record shows a live, pending service‑mark application for “ANIME FUTURE FORUM” owned by Crunchyroll, LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company, and it is currently on the Principal Register. The goods and services are limited to “Education and entertainment services, namely, organizing and conducting conferences in the fields of anime, gaming, music, film, and related emerging technologies” (International Class 041). A similar name used for conference‑type events in those same areas would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that niche are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give Crunchyroll control over every possible use of the words “anime” or “forum.” The most recent meaningful event is the Notice of Allowance issued on August 11 2026, which now requires the applicant to file a Statement of Use or request an extension within six months. The prosecution history shows a final refusal that was overcome, leading to approval for publication and the NOA; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similarly named conference‑style service in the anime‑related entertainment space.
