MV MODUS VIVENDI

What this record means

The record shows that MV MODUS VIVENDI is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Shin Won Corporation, with the cancellation dated May 31 2003 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration; there is no current live registration. The registration covered Class 014 precious metals, stones and jewelry and Class 018 leather goods such as briefcases, handbags, travel bags, sports bags, garment bags, trunks and umbrellas, so a later use of the same wording on similar jewelry or leather accessories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “MV Modus Viviendi” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, received a Notice of Allowance, was allowed on the Principal Register, and later was cancelled for non‑filing of the Section 8 maintenance. No oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market jewelry or leather goods under a similar name.
