MODUS VIVENDI THE LIFESTLYE MAGAZINE

What this record means

The record shows that “MODUS VIVENDI THE LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE” is not a live mark; it was abandoned on November 18 2004 after the applicant, TST Enterprises Inc., failed to respond to an Office action, and the application is now dead. The filing covered only class 016 – paper goods and printed matter – specifically “magazines – lifestyle magazine,” so a similar name used for a lifestyle periodical would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as clothing or food would fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never entered the register, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Modus Vivendi” or “Lifestyle Magazine.” The prosecution history notes a non‑final action mailed on April 20 2004, assignment to an examiner on March 31 2004, and the abandonment notice on the same day as the status change in November 2004; no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a lifestyle‑magazine title that closely mirrors this wording.
