What this record means
This mark is no longer live; the record shows it was cancelled on December 19, 1996 because the registrant did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Gruppo Italiano Vini S.P.A., a corporation organized in Italy, and the mark was registered on the Principal Register under class 033 for wines and liquors. The goods described are “WINES AND LIQUEURS,” so a similar name used for wine products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only indicates that the specific registration has lapsed. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially approved for publication, published for opposition, registered, and later cancelled after a Section 8 action. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of a similar name for wine or related beverages, this record suggests a meaningful concern in that specific area.
