GRUPPO FININVEST
Dead · Withdrawn DEAD/APPLICATION/Withdrawn/AbandonedWhat this record means
The record shows that GRUPPO FININVEST is an abandoned application—its status is “dead” after the applicant filed an express abandonment on April 27, 1992, and the owner listed is FINANZIARIA D'INVESTIMENTO ‑ FININVEST SPA, a corporation organized in Italy. The filing covered a wide range of goods and services, most notably Class 009 items such as motion‑picture films, cameras, television sets and related audio‑video equipment, Class 016 printed‑matter like tickets, illustrated cards and newspaper, Class 035 advertising and business consulting services, Class 038 radio and television broadcasting, Class 041 education and entertainment services including film production and athletic competitions, and Class 042 scientific and technology services like architectural consulting. Because the application never issued a registration, the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “GRUPPO FININVEST,” but it does create a concrete concern for uses that fall within these listed categories. The prosecution history shows the application moved from approval for publication to a notice of allowance, then to abandonment, with no opposition or cancellation events recorded. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a similar name for products or services that overlap any of the classes listed.
