GRUPPO FININVEST RETEITALIA
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that “GRUPPO FININVEST RETEITALIA” is dead – it was abandoned on September 25 1994 because the applicant never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and the history contains no later enforcement actions. The owner listed is FINANZIARIA D'INVESTIMENTO ‑ FININVEST S.P.A., a corporation organized in Italy. The application covered a wide range of goods and services, most notably Class 009 items such as motion‑picture equipment, cameras, televisions and audio‑video devices, Class 016 paper and printed matter like tickets and illustrated cards, Class 035 advertising and business consulting, Class 038 radio and television broadcasting, Class 041 education and entertainment services, and Class 042 scientific and technology consulting. A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of those listed areas, especially the media‑equipment and publishing categories, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words. Because the mark was never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the standard sequence of extensions for a Statement of Use that ultimately was not filed. The last meaningful event is the abandonment entry on September 25 1994, and no opposition or cancellation filings appear. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the same wording in any of the listed classes.
