What this record means
The record shows that “VIVA ZAPATA’S” is a live, registered service mark owned by BARAJAS, INC., a Nevada corporation. It is registered on the Principal Register and covers restaurant services under class 043, first used on December 5, 2001. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the restaurant or hospitality sector, especially where the mark is displayed in a dining or hotel context. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it applies only to the specified services. The prosecution history shows a standard examination and publication sequence, with no supplemental register involvement. The latest significant event is the renewal of the registration on July 16, 2025, which keeps the mark active. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in restaurant or hotel services could be viewed as infringing the existing mark.
