VIVA SOY

What this record means

The record shows that the VIVA SOY application is dead, having been abandoned after an inter‑partes decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, with the last status date of July 3 2008, and the owner listed as Grupo Corporativo Teype, S.L., a Spanish corporation. The filing covered two classes: Class 029 for soy‑based food and beverage used as a milk substitute, and Class 032 for non‑alcoholic fruit‑juice drinks that contain soy. A later filing that uses a similar name in the same or closely related food‑and‑beverage categories would run into the closest record‑based concern, because the goods are specifically described as soy‑based consumables. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Viva” or “Soy” outside those listed categories. No supplemental‑register sequence appears, and the prosecution history is empty. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a soy‑based product or drink under a similar name.
