VIVENDI VISUAL ENTERTAINMENTSerial 78836171 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: VIVENDI
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Mar 13, 2006
The record shows that “VIVENDI VISUAL ENTERTAINMENT” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after no Statement of Use or extension was filed following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice mailed on Nov 10 2008. The owner is VIVENDI, a corporation organized in France, and the mark was filed as a service mark on the Principal Register. The goods and services listed in class 041 focus on the production, distribution and syndication of television, radio, music, motion‑picture and related entertainment content, plus fan clubs and educational materials in that field. A similar name used for anything outside that entertainment‑production scope would be farther from the specific concern shown here, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “VIVENDI,” “VISUAL” or “ENTERTAINMENT.” The prosecution history shows the application proceeded through an examiner’s amendment and a Notice of Allowance before the abandonment, but it never reached registration on the Supplemental Register. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a name that will be used for TV, radio or music production services, because the abandoned filing still signals that the owner once sought protection in that exact niche.

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.
