VLFSerial 86869120 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: VLF Automotive LLC
Class 012 -
Filed Jan 07, 2016
Registered Feb 21, 2017
The record shows a cancelled Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 5144555) that was owned by VLF Automotive LLC, a Michigan limited‑liability company; the cancellation was entered on Sep 1 2023 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only Class 012 goods – “automotive vehicles in the nature of automobiles, luxury sport cars, race cars, sedans, and structural parts thereof” – so a later use of the word “VLF” in connection with cars or related parts would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields would fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the letters VLF. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, there is no Supplemental Register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation on Sep 1 2023, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by others, or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand automotive products with the same 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.
