VIVENDI UNIVERSAL
Dead · Surrendered DEAD/REGISTRATION/Surrendered
What this record means
The record shows that “VIVENDI UNIVERSAL” is a dead mark – the registration was cancelled under Section 7 when the owner, VIVENDI UNIVERSAL, a French corporation, surrendered it, with the status change recorded on Nov 23 2007. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for a very broad set of goods and services, including electronic devices such as cameras, computers and software (Class 009); printed publications and instructional manuals (Class 016); games, toys and puzzles (Class 028); non‑alcoholic and alcoholic beverages (Classes 032 and 033); advertising, market research and exhibition services (Class 035); financial, insurance and real‑estate services (Class 036); installation and repair of information‑processing equipment (Class 037); telecommunications and database leasing (Class 038); online music, art, cinema databases, entertainment and education programs (Class 041); and computer‑telephony software and web‑site design services (Class 042). A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of those listed areas, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Vivendi” or “Universal.” No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear, and the last meaningful event is the surrender in 2007. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the same name in any of the listed categories.
