V

What this record means

The record shows that the mark V was abandoned, so it is not live, registered, pending or cancelled; the applicant was Bernard Levy, an individual, and the abandonment was recorded on June 23 1995 after a failure to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are “vegetables, legumes, and processed grains patties, burgers, sausages, frankfurters, lunch loaves, and mock meats” in International Class 029, so a later use of the single letter V in connection with food products of that type would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over uses of the letter V outside those specific food descriptions. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed on September 28 1994 followed by abandonment in June 1995, indicating the application never progressed to registration. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a similar name for comparable food items, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
