GRUPPO DIVERDE

What this record means

The record shows that “GRUPPO DIVERDE” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, Gruppo DiVerde, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated September 21 2009. The filing covered three classes: Class 019 for stone and non‑metal tile used in building and construction, Class 037 for building construction services, and Class 042 for interior design services. A later filing that uses the same wording would run into the closest concern in those construction‑related areas, because the goods and services listed are fairly specific to building materials and design work. The record does not give the owner any blanket control over the word “GRUPPO” or “DIVERDE” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows an initial refusal, an amendment that led to a Notice of Allowance, and then abandonment; it never reached the Supplemental Register. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the file, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use the same name for similar construction or interior‑design offerings.
