The record shows that VIVENDI, a French corporation, had a Principal Register registration (U.S. Reg. No. 3598577) that was cancelled on July 29 2016 after the underlying international registration was invalidated, so the mark is no longer live. The registration covered a very broad set of goods and services across classes 009 (electrical and scientific apparatus such as computers, software and electronic games), 016 (printed matter and manuals), 028 (games, toys and sporting articles), 035 (advertising, market research and exhibition services), 036 (financial and insurance services), 038 (telecommunications and data transmission), 041 (education, entertainment and cultural events) and 042 (design, development and consulting for software and networks). A similar name used in any of those areas would create the closest record‑based concern, but the cancelled status does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “VIVENDI.” The prosecution history shows the mark cleared a descriptiveness refusal, was allowed on the Principal Register, and later was cancelled following the loss of its Madrid Protocol registration; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same tech‑media‑financial fields, even though the U.S. registration is no longer active.
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.
