MODUS VIVENDISerial 73531701 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: SCHNABEL, PHILIPPE
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Apr 11, 1985
Registered Feb 25, 1986
The record shows that “MODUS VIVENDI” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status “dead” as of Oct 14 1992) that was owned by the individual Philippe Schnabel; the cancellation resulted from a failure to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is no longer in force. The registration covered only Class 025 clothing and footwear – specifically men’s, women’s and children’s apparel such as suits, pants, skirts, jackets, dresses, shirts, socks, underwear, ties, scarves and shoes – so a later use of the same wording on similar apparel would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any blanket control over the phrase in unrelated fields. There is no Supplemental Register activity; the prosecution history simply moves from approval for publication to registration and then to the Section 8 cancellation. The latest meaningful event is the 1992 cancellation, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond that, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use “Modus Viviendi” for clothing, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
