VAVOOM

What this record means

The record shows that VAVOOM is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after New Frontier Media, Inc., a Colorado corporation, failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated May 17 2010. The filing covered three classes: Class 010 for adult sexual aids (computer‑controlled stimulation devices), Class 025 for clothing such as hats, T‑shirts and under‑garments, and Class 041 for production of sexually explicit video programs distributed by cable or satellite. A later filing that uses the same name in any of those areas would run into the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those goods or services are farther from the scope shown here. The prosecution history records no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a brand in any of the listed categories, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO once examined VAVOOM for those specific goods.
