VAROOM
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that VAROOM is a dead application that was abandoned on May 29 1999 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is Motorhead Productions, Inc., an Illinois corporation. The filing covered a wide range of goods—including jewelry, plastic tableware, clothing such as jackets and T‑shirts, potato chips, sauces, amusement‑arcade services, restaurant services, and printed matter like auto‑racing books and posters—so a similar name used for any of those categories would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Motorhead Productions control over every possible use of the word “VAROOM,” only over the specific items listed. This was a standard Principal Register filing; there is no Supplemental Register entry or descriptiveness refusal noted in the prosecution history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on May 29 1999, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a similar name for comparable goods or services.
