VINTAGE VAVOOM

What this record means

The record shows that “VINTAGE VAVOOM” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, YV Media LLC, failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated February 2 2009. The filing covered Class 016 paper goods and printed matter and Class 041 education and entertainment, specifically magazines and an online magazine about home decoration and design that focus on vintage decorating elements and furnishings. A similar name used for any home‑decor publishing, whether print or digital, would fall into the closest area of concern because the goods and services are narrowly described around that niche. The record does not give YV Media LLC control over every possible use of the words “vintage” or “vavoom” in unrelated fields. No Supplemental Register entry appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from approval for publication to a Notice of Allowance and then abandonment, without any refusal or amendment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on February 2 2009, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for home‑decor magazines or online content, since the existing filing directly targets that market.
