The record shows that “VIVENDI, A WORLD OF COMMUNICATIONS” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by VIVENDI, a société anonyme organized in France, and its U.S. registration was terminated on June 8 2019 after the underlying Madrid Protocol registration was cancelled; the most recent meaningful event is the January 3 2020 notification of the cancellation effect. The mark covered a broad array of goods and services across several classes, most notably Class 009 (apparatus for recording, transmitting and processing sounds, images and information, including computers, radios, televisions and related software), Class 038 (telecommunications and electronic transmission of data, sounds and images), and related advertising, financial, educational and technology services. Because the record is limited to those listed categories, a similar name used for unrelated products—say, clothing or food—would be farther from the scope shown, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “VIVENDI” or “World of Communications.” The prosecution history shows an initial refusal that was overcome by an examiner’s amendment, leading to registration, but the later cancellation reflects the loss of the international registration rather than a deficiency in the U.S. filing. No oppositions, cancellations by third parties or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to offer communications‑related hardware, software or related services under a similar name.

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.
