What this is
Whether US trademark records name The Pokémon Company International as licensee or related company: none of ten records read does.
How it’s built
- Read the prosecution history of ten US registrations on TSDR, the US trademark office’s status system, on 2 November 2026, including a Poké Ball device and the stylised Pokémon mark.
- Searched for change of owner, assignment, licence, consent, related company and security.
What we assumed
- The histories would show a licence or consent if one had been filed.Licences need not be recorded with the US office, so silence is weak evidence.
Sanity check
Ten records are a sample, not the whole register, and licence recordals at the office’s assignment database could not be read.
