The record shows that “VIVENDI GAMES” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by VIVENDI, a société anonyme organized in France, and it is no longer live. The registration covered a broad set of goods and services, most notably games (board, arcade, skill and electronic), software and interactive multimedia, printed guides and manuals for software, and entertainment and education services such as online computer games, music‑show production and cultural exhibitions, all spread across classes 009, 016, 028, 038, 041 and 042. Because the mark’s scope is concentrated on gaming‑related products and related entertainment services, a similar name used for a video‑game title, gaming software, or a gaming‑related website would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the listed scope. The prosecution history shows an initial descriptiveness refusal in early 2008, followed by a successful amendment that allowed registration on the Principal Register in September 2008; the mark was later cancelled after the international registration it depended on was invalidated, with the last meaningful event recorded on February 24 2017 when the cancellation was processed. No oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a similar name in the gaming or entertainment arena, because the record still reflects a past claim over those categories.
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.
