VAVOOM!

What this record means

The record shows that VAVOOM! is an abandoned application, filed by MATRIX ESSENTIALS, INC., a corporation organized in Ohio, and it is no longer live or registered; the abandonment was entered on October 2 1989 after the applicant filed an express abandonment. The only goods listed are “T‑SHIRTS AND SWEATSHIRTS” in International Class 025, with a first use date of January 7 1988, so a similar name used on clothing would be the closest area of concern based on this filing. The record does not give MATRIX ESSENTIALS, INC. control over the word VAVOOM! in other product categories or in general language use. Because the application was on the Principal Register and was abandoned before registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the express abandonment entry on October 2 1989, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history shows only routine office actions and the abandonment, with no oppositions, cancellations or court filings, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to brand clothing with a similar name, but the risk is limited to the narrow apparel scope shown.
