What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark SMILING SAGE filed by AGS LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company, and it is being examined on the Principal Register. The only listed goods are “recorded computer game software; recorded computer gaming software for gambling” in International Class 009, so a similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern for software that records gameplay or gambling‑related gaming content. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “smiling sage” in other industries or contexts. The prosecution history notes a suspension letter and related correspondence on Mar 16 2026, which is the most recent status event; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name for gaming‑related software.
