VLF

What this record means

The record shows that the VLF application filed by TAB Licensing Company, LLC on April 30 2008 is now dead, having been abandoned on October 7 2009 after the applicant failed to respond to a final refusal. The only goods listed are in International Class 010 and cover various therapeutic and cosmetic apparatus that use magnetism, sound waves, colored light or similar technologies, such as magnet‑therapy devices, relaxation‑light dispensers and facial toning machines. A later filing that uses VLF for unrelated products would encounter the closest record‑based concern only if those products fall within the same class of therapeutic or cosmetic devices; uses in other classes would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the letters VLF. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on October 7 2009, and the prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a similar name in the same therapeutic‑device space.
