ANIME &
Pending · Awaiting Examination LIVE/APPLICATION/Awaiting Examination
What this record means
The record shows a live pending application for the mark “ANIME &” owned by anime & wine, a limited liability company organized in South Carolina, and it is not yet registered. The application covers services in International Class 041, specifically conducting, organizing, and hosting social entertainment events—including anime‑focused events, educational exhibitions about anime, and music‑appreciation gatherings—as well as social‑club services that arrange get‑togethers and parties for members. Because the filing is still awaiting examination, the USPTO has not granted any rights, so the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “anime” or “&” in other contexts. The prosecution history only notes the filing receipt and entry on July 13 2026, with no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement activity visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for comparable event‑organizing services, since the listed scope directly overlaps those activities.
