ARS VIVENDISerial 74140717 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Ludwig Schokolade GmbH
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Feb 15, 1991
Registered Mar 16, 1993
The record shows that ARS VIVENDI is a cancelled Principal Register mark (status “dead” as of September 20 1999) owned by Ludwig Schokolade GmbH, a German limited‑liability company, and it covered chocolate products—including bars, candy, and varieties filled with liqueurs, wine, caramel or nuts—under International Class 030. Because the registration was limited to those staple‑food items, a later use of the same wording on unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown here, but a similar name on any chocolate‑related product would create the closest record‑based concern. The history does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “ARS VIVENDI.” The mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register; it proceeded to registration on the Principal Register in March 1993 and was later cancelled for failure to file a Section 8 declaration in 1999. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market chocolate items under a similar name.
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.
