VAVOOM CLEANSE

What this record means

The record shows that VAVOOM CLEANSE is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by L’OREAL USA CREATIVE INC; the registration was cancelled on Dec 9 2006 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the status is listed as “dead · cancelled.” The only goods listed are “hair shampoo” in International Class 3, so a later user of a similar name on hair‑shampoo products would encounter the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give L’Oréal control over every possible use of the words “VAVOOM” or “CLEANSE.” The prosecution history shows the mark moved through the normal examination steps—publication, allowance, statement‑of‑use filings, and registration—before the later Section 8 lapse. No opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement action appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a shampoo brand with a name that sounds like VAVOOM CLEANSE.
