VAVOOM FINISHING

What this record means

The record shows that VAVOOM FINISHING was registered on the Principal Register by L'Oreal USA Creative, Inc. but was cancelled on May 9 2009 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The registration covered only “Hair styling preparations” in International Class 3, meaning the strongest concern for a similar name would be in the cosmetics and hair‑care space; uses in unrelated categories such as clothing or food would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give L'Oreal control over every possible use of the words “VAVOOM” or “FINISHING,” just the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, received a Notice of Allowance, was allowed on the Principal Register, and later fell into cancellation for non‑maintenance. No oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a hair‑care product with a similar name, but the risk is limited to that narrow goods category.
