R GRUPPO RIGO

What this record means

The record shows that “R GRUPPO RIGO” is no longer active – it was cancelled on May 16, 2008 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the USPTO lists the mark as “dead · cancelled.” The owner recorded is Kappa Rigo S.a.s. di Zaia Sergio & C., a partnership organized in Italy, and the registration covered only Class 020 – “Furniture, namely office and house furniture,” with a first‑use claim of 1996 and use in commerce from May 1999. Because the protection was limited to that specific furniture description, a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would not automatically run into this record, though a furniture‑related use would be the closest area of concern. The prosecution history shows a normal examination and registration on the Principal Register, followed by the later Section 8 cancellation; no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the same wording for furniture, but the risk is far lower for other product categories.
