What this record means
The record shows that “VINTAGE GROOVE” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, Elements /Jill Schwartz, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated June 7 2010. The only goods listed are in International Class 016 and cover paper goods and printed matter such as address books, diaries, blank journals, cardboard or paper boxes, collages, daily planners and photograph albums; a similar name used for those types of products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over the words “vintage groove” in unrelated categories, so it does not block every possible use. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from publication to allowance to abandonment without a descriptiveness refusal. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on June 7 2010, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market paper‑based items under a similar name.
