VIVANDO

What this record means

The record shows that the VIVANDO application is dead – it was abandoned on September 3 2005 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance was issued, and the owner listed is BASF Aktiengesellschaft, a German corporation. The only goods covered are in International Class 5: insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and related agricultural preparations, plus preparations for destroying vermin and pheromones. A later filing that uses the same word for products in a different field would be far less likely to run into this particular record, because the USPTO filing is limited to those agricultural chemicals. The history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied file contains no visible enforcement activity. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on November 8 2005. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market a similar name for agricultural chemicals, but the record does not control uses outside that narrow scope.
