What this record means
The record shows that the mark “VIVI” is no longer active; it was cancelled on December 26 1994 because the owner, Victor H. Bunick, did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on June 21 1988 for women’s clothing, specifically suits, blazers, shirts, blouses, jumpsuits, and pants, first used in commerce in October 1979. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark no longer confers any rights, but the historical registration still indicates that a similar name used for those same apparel items would raise the closest concern. The record does not give control over every use of the word “VIVI.” No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone thinking of a similar name, the past registration suggests a potential risk if the goods or services are in the same clothing category, but the mark’s cancelled status means the owner no longer protects that name.
