Owner review 19, lane A: Turma 투마, Ama 아마, Pando 판도 (2026-10-13)
Status: Draft · Date: 2026-10-13 · A knock-out search, not legal advice and not a full clearance. Classes 9, 35, 41, 42. Method follows review 14 and review 15. Services were paced 8 s apart; none refused.
Owner, review 19 (as briefed). Korean words that sound like Latin roots, with meanings tied to group sports, gathering or physical activity.
Verdicts
| Word | Verdict | One-line reason |
|---|---|---|
| Turma / 투마 | Usable with conditions | Cleanest of the three: zero live Hangul 투마 and zero Latin TURMA in KR or US; EU/UK have a few TURMA marks; no .com, .app, .io address; .kr, .co.kr, .co free. Meaning risks are real but mild in Korea. It is also the spoken name of the current brand. |
| Ama / 아마 | Blocked | 아마 is generic in Korean sport (amateur) and also "maybe" and "flax": weak mark. A sports-SaaS 아마축구 is pending in KR class 42 and has an app. Latin AMA is held by Reddit, the American Medical and Management Associations and others in classes 35/41/42. Every address is taken. |
| Pando / 판도 | Blocked | Identical live 판도 in KR class 35 (advertising), class 41 (education, including organising competitions), plus 판도 쇼핑 and 판도 SNS; five live US PANDO marks in class 42 and more in 9/41; exact Pando apps in US, KR and JP; every address and handle taken; English slang "pando" means pandemic. |

Limits: KIPRIS is read by rank (90 to 240 rows), and rank puts exact titles first, so deeper rows are compounds. 아마 has 29,602 rows, 판도 3,471, 투마 228. 두마 has 31,962 rows and only page 1 was read. Sound-alike (칭호) matching is spelling-only; a 변리사 must run the phonetic search before filing. TMview returned 842 (turma), 130,743 (ama) and 1,415 (pando) rows; only page 1 (100 rows) of each was read. USPTO AMA returned 150 hits and the first 100 were read. INPI (Brazil) was not reachable directly; the TMview BR rows are the only Brazil signal. TMview status can lag KIPRIS.
1. Turma / 투마
1.1 Trademarks
Korea, Hangul 투마. 228 rows, 90 read. No live mark has 투마 as its title or as a separate word. Live compounds only: 투마리, 투마리통닭, 투마리치킨 (pending 2026, class 43 restaurants), 투마리나 (class 43), 투마로 family (LG H&H, class 3, 더 투마로 registered 4520150006045), 투마이니 (TUMAINI, class 35 shopping, 이축복 4020170128522), 투마익 (BMS, class 5), 투마브 and 투마이브라이드 (class 45), 투마이홈 (class 19/35). None is an exact or near-exact in 9/35/41/42 for our goods. Sound-alikes read on page 1: 두마 (one live 두마 무학대, class 29-32 mushrooms), 튜마 (none live), 투모어 (none live; the existing name has no Korean filing in these rows).
Korea, Latin TURMA. 33 rows, all read. No TURMA title; only TURMACIN, STURMANSKIE, Gluturma, REAL TURMAT, NaturManan (substring hits).
US (USPTO). One live hit for "turma": TURMA DA MÔNICA BABY (Mauricio de Sousa Produções, US class 3, design plus words). No TURMA mark in 9/35/41/42. Same owner's other live US marks are MONICA TOY, MONICA PLUS, MONICA AND FRIENDS, BLU DOG, all class 41 (video and entertainment), none containing "turma".
EU and UK (TMview, page 1 of 842).
| Mark | Office | Status | Classes | Owner | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TURMA | EM | Registered | 29, 35 | S.C. ITL Agrocomplex S.R.L. | Figurative, food business, class 35 retail |
| TURMA | ES | Registered | 41, 45 | Santiago Barba Iglesias | Combined, class 41 overlaps |
| TURMA | GB | Registered | 9, 16, 35, 41, 42, 45 | Turma Ltd | Figurative, all four of our classes; UK is outside the target markets but is a real blocker for any UK expansion |
| TURMA MAJORA | PT | Registered | 9, 16, 28, 41 | Excellentreasure, Lda. | Compound |
| TURMA | BR | Registered | 35 | 49.806.376 Karen Nogueira Rossetti | Combined, plus TURMA WINE |
| TURMA | AR | Registered | 41 | Julieta Escardo | Combined |
Brazil is saturated with TURMA DA <x> and TURMA DO <x> marks in classes 35, 41, 9 and 42 (more than 90 on page 1 alone, e.g. TURMA DA BOLA 9/35/41, TURMA DO SURF 35, TURMA DA BIKE 41, TURMA DA PLAY 41, TURMA VIRTUAL 42, TURMA GKIDS 35 Grendene). They show that "turma" is a common generic first word there, not an exclusive one.
Turma da Mônica. Mauricio de Sousa Produções holds the franchise (Wikipedia: "Monica and Friends", Brazilian comic series and media franchise). Marks found: TURMA DA MÔNICA variants in BR class 41 (TURMA DA MÔNICA LIÇÕES, JOVEM AO VIVO, REFLEXOS DO MEDO, EM UMA AVENTURA NO TEMPO, CINEGIBI, VAMOS BRINCAR COM A TURMA DA MÔNICA), BR class 35/29/31/33/30/20/1 (character names), PY class 41, CN class 9 and 41 (TURMA DA MONICA;MAURICIO), US class 3 (TURMA DA MÔNICA BABY). All are the full phrase "Turma da Mônica"; none is the bare word TURMA. Risk is therefore association (a Brazilian user thinks of Mônica) and a possible opposition from a well-known-mark owner in Brazil, not a conflict in KR, US or EU.
Distinctiveness.
- Korea: 투마 means nothing in Korean, so it is arbitrary at KIPO. Strong.
- Portuguese (Wiktionary): "a group of people; gang (number of friends); class (students)". For a club app the word describes the thing (a group). In Portuguese-speaking markets (BR, PT) it would be descriptive;
turmaalso means a class in a school, which fits tennis lessons. - US doctrine of foreign equivalents: would only bite if the USPTO treated Portuguese as a common modern language for the US buyer. No conflict found; flag for counsel.

1.5 Meaning
- Latin (Wiktionary, Lewis and Short): feminine noun, "a troop, squadron of cavalry; in general a troop, crowd, company, throng, band, body". Confirmed.
- Portuguese (Wiktionary, citing Aulete, Infopédia, Priberam): "a group of people; gang; class (of students)". Confirmed; generic.
- Spanish (Wiktionary, citing RAE 23.8.1, 2025): "testicle" and "a kind of potato". Confirmed. The brief calls it archaic or regional; the Wiktionary entry cites the current RAE (23.8.1, 2025) without such a label. Catalan
turmais also "animal testicle". Finnishturmais "accident, ruin". Polishturma(archaic) is "prison, fetters". - Korean: 투마 has no dictionary sense; it is the spoken form of TwoMore (두 개 더).
- Famous brand: Turma da Mônica (Brazil), confirmed above. No Korean, US or Japanese famous brand.
1.6 Verdict: Usable with conditions
Conditions: (1) accept that no .com, .app or .io is free; use turma.co, turma.kr/turma.co.kr, or a prefix; (2) handle is turmaapp; (3) Spanish and Catalan meaning make a Spanish-language launch unwise, which is not a target market; (4) a Brazilian launch would meet the Turma da Mônica association and a crowded class 35/41 register; (5) a UK or EU filing would need a conflict check against Turma Ltd (UK, all four classes), TURMA ES class 41/45 and TURMA EM class 35. In Korea and the US there is no blocker found. The name is a minimal change for users because 투마 is already how Koreans say the brand.
2. Ama / 아마
2.1 Trademarks
Korea, Hangul 아마 (29,602 rows, 240 read, exact titles ranked first).
- Exact 아마 live:
아마 (ASIAMA), registered 2007, class 20 (sofas, chairs), Quia Shing Investment. Not our classes. - Exact 아마 dead: class 43 waffle and fast-food shop, refused (4120160019377).
- Compounds live in or near our classes: 아마축구 (pending, 강호원, KR4020260051229 word mark and KR4020260051230 figurative, filed 2026-03-16, class 42: cloud computing, SaaS, web-based software platform, online platform software design). This is a sports-named SaaS filing; it will be cited against any 아마 in class 42 and shows that "아마" plus a sport reads as "amateur football". 아마도좋아 (class 35 kids' clothing retail, registered), 아마 예뻐질 거예요 미미샵 (nine classes, registered, including 9, 35, 38, 41, 42 as a single phrase), 아마 수작 (pending, food), 아마코리아 (AMA KOREA, abandoned), 아마펫 (abandoned).
- Flax meaning drives hundreds of 아마씨, 아마란스 (amaranth) and 아마플랙스 marks in classes 3, 5, 29 to 32.
Korea, Latin AMA (39,050 rows, 90 read). Live exact AMA marks:
| Mark | Class | Owner | Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMA (registered) | 41 | 김승택 (modelling, live shows) | 4020230159810 |
| AMA (pending) | 35, 38 | 김승택 (bulletin-board and social-network services, recruiting performers) | 4020260026943 |
| AMA (registered) | 18/25/28/35 | 민경국 (bags, sports goods, online shop) | 4020210248708 |
| AMA, AMA KOREA, many variants | 9, 16, 35, 41 | American Management Association | e.g. 4520040003073, 4119970007805 (41, seminars), 4019970025973 (16) |
| AMA (pending) | 29, 30 | 닝시아 차오위안 아마 푸드 | 4020260167681 / 82 |
| AMA SPORT (pending) | 25, 28 | 저지앙 아마 스포츠 굿즈 컴퍼니 | 4020250095460 / 61 |
Sound-alike 아마 and AMA are the same sound at KIPO, so the live AMA 41 and pending AMA 35/38 marks would be compared against a 아마 filing. The American Management Association holds AMA in class 41 (education, seminars) in Korea.
US (USPTO; 150 hits, first 100 read). Live exact AMA in our classes:
- American Medical Association: 35 (4164750, association services), 16/35 (3212075), many AMA-prefixed marks in 9, 35, 41.
- Reddit, Inc.: AMA, class 41 (5283555 and 5220980, online videos of individuals responding to interview questions; the "ask me anything" format).
- American Management Association: 41 (4385817), 16/41 (2672847), AMA PODCAST 9/38/41. American Marketing Association: 35/41 (5159884).
- Dick Clark Productions: AMA (American Music Awards), 41 (3541597).
- Academy of Model Aeronautics: 9/42 and others (2597009). AVL Emission Test Systems: 9/42 (3409440). Earth Holdings: 42/45 (50079764, pending). Atelier Maison: 35 (6412300). A. Michael Architecture: 42 (7752073). American Motorcyclist Association: AMA RACING and siblings, 41.
EU and elsewhere (TMview). AMA is held in 9, 35, 41, 42 by the American Medical Association (EM 018256421, 44/35/9/42), Reddit (EM, GB, class 41/42), AB Svensk Byggtjänst (EM, 9/16/35/38/41/42), AMA Venezia (EM 41), AMA-Automation (GB 9/37/41/42) and dozens more. The register is crowded.
Distinctiveness. In Korean sport 아마 means "amateur" (아마추어: "amateur", Wiktionary and Korean Wikipedia; 아마 골프, 아마 4부 usage as briefed). In a tennis-club app for amateurs it describes the users, so KIPO is likely to find weak 식별력 for 아마 alone. 아마 also means "maybe" (adverb) and "flax" (noun, 亞麻) per Wiktionary. Wiktionary's 아마 entry does not list the "amateur" abbreviation; the sports sense is supported by the 아마축구 filing and its app, not by that entry.

2.5 Meaning
- Korean (Wiktionary): adverb "perhaps, maybe"; noun 亞麻 "flax". Amateur sense: Korean 아마 as a clipping of 아마추어 is as briefed; supported by 아마축구, not listed in Wiktionary.
- Latin:
amais the imperative ofamō("love"), per Wiktionary (and the briefed amare, amator). Confirmed. - Spanish: "lady of the house, proprietress, landlady, housekeeper, nursemaid, wetnurse, mistress". Portuguese: "female nurse, housekeeper, governess"; also third-person "loves". Confirmed.
- Japanese: Wikipedia "Ama (diving)": Japanese divers, mostly women. Confirmed.
- Other: Wiktionary lists the outrigger float on a proa, an Ayurvedic term for toxins ("ama"), and "against medical advice". AMA also means "ask me anything" (Reddit) and the American Medical Association (confirmed by the USPTO rows above).
- Famous-brand meaning: Reddit AMA, American Medical Association, American Music Awards.
2.6 Verdict: Blocked
Reasons: (1) generic in Korean sport, so weak and hard to enforce; (2) a pending sports-SaaS 아마축구 in class 42 and an app of that name; (3) live identical AMA marks in KR class 41 and pending 35/38, and a crowded US and EU register in 35/41/42 owned by large associations and Reddit; (4) .com, .app, .io, .kr and .co.kr taken (ama.co.kr is for sale); only .co is free; (5) handle amaapp taken on both platforms.
3. Pando / 판도
3.1 Trademarks
Korea, Hangul 판도 (3,471 rows, 90 read). Live exact 판도:
| Mark | Class | Owner | Goods read | Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 판도 SNS (PANDO SNS) | 38 | 주식회사 울트라블래스터 | location-based social networking, chat rooms, instant messaging | 4020200176626 |
The same owner's 판도 marks for software (class 9), browser, messenger, coin, exchange, mining and games were refused in 2020, so the 9 and 42 space is open for 판도 in Hangul but the owner is active. The class-41 판도 includes "organising competitions", which is the nearest our service gets to tournament organisation.
Korea, Latin PANDO. Live exact: PANDO class 36 (주식회사 퍼시스홀딩스, 4020210095762 and 4020200062678), class 28 (Leju Robotics, 4020180008097, toys and game controllers), PANDO PSYCHOANALYSIS CENTER 41 and 44. Compounds PANDORA are everywhere.

EU (TMview). PANDO EM 018632834 (Pando S.R.L., 37/9/42/11), 018633257 (Shanghai Pando Electric, 9), 018212536 (Panduro Hobby, 2/35/41), 018748937 (Roche, 10/44/35/42/9), Pando Proto 018835202 (9/35/36/38/42), Pando Studio FR 4468068 (9/35/42), PANDO ENERGIES FR, and more.
Distinctiveness. Pando is arbitrary as a word (Korean 판도, "territory" per Wiktionary 版圖; Latin pando, "I spread out"; the Utah aspen clone). It is not descriptive of a tennis app, but identical marks exist, so the problem is conflict, not weakness.

Most exact apps have under 20 ratings (JP social-networking Pando has 31), so by the review-15 rule they are conditions, not blocks; but four or more exact "Pando" names in each store means the name is not unique, and Pando Society sits in Health & Fitness.

3.5 Meaning
- Korean (Wiktionary): 판도 (版圖), "territory". The briefed idiom 판도를 바꾸다 ("change the landscape") is standard usage; it is not in the Wiktionary entry.
- Latin:
pandō, "to spread or open out, extend, unfold, expose, narrate". Confirmed. A second Latin verbpandōmeans "to bend, curve". - Utah aspen: Wikipedia "Pando (tree)": a quaking aspen clone in Sevier County, Utah, about 47,000 stems of one genetic individual on a 42.8 ha root system. Confirmed.
- Other meanings (new): English slang "pando" (Australia, UK) = "a pandemic"; Spanish
pando= "crooked, shallow, sluggish, slow; (El Salvador) unlucky"; Esperantopando= "panda"; Galicianpando= "concave". The Spanish "sluggish/slow" and the pandemic slang are unhelpful for an energetic sports brand. - Companies named Pando: confirmed above (Pando Telecom, Pando HR, AutoAlert, Pando Software, Pando Electric, Roche, Forward Clinical, Pando LLC, a career tool at
pando.com).
3.6 Verdict: Blocked
Reasons: identical live 판도 in KR classes 35 and 41 (the 41 listing includes organising competitions) plus the 판도 SNS and 판도 쇼핑 family; five-plus live PANDO marks in US class 42 and more in 9/41; exact Pando apps in all three stores; .com, .app, .io, .co, .kr and .co.kr all taken; handles taken (only pandoapp on YouTube is free); pandemic and "sluggish" meanings.
