VAAVOOM

What this record means

The record shows that VAAVOOM is a dead application that was abandoned on March 26 2001 after the applicant, Citicorp (a Delaware corporation), filed an express abandonment, and there is no active registration. The filing covered three classes: Class 009 for computer software that lets users perform personal banking, bill presentment, payment and financial‑account aggregation over a global network; Class 036 for financial services including personal banking, bill presentment, payment and account‑information aggregation delivered via a global network; and Class 042 for providing customized on‑line shopping and purchasing services over a global network. A similar name used in any of those digital‑banking, payment‑aggregation or on‑line shopping contexts would be the closest area of concern because the record’s goods and services focus on those functions. The record does not give Citicorp control over every use of the word VAAVOOM in unrelated fields. The latest meaningful event is the express abandonment on March 26 2001, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that touches digital banking, payment aggregation or on‑line shopping services.
