VAROOM!

What this record means

The record shows that VAROOM! is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the owner, Varoom, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued, with the abandonment notice mailed on May 21 2008. The only goods listed are “Children’s books and magazines” in International Class 016, so a similar name used for publishing or printed material for kids would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated fields such as software, apparel or food fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give Varoom, Inc. control over every use of the word “VAROOM.” The prosecution history shows a series of Statement‑of‑Use extensions from 2006‑2007 before the final abandonment, but no Supplemental Register filing appears. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on May 21 2008, and the supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a children’s publishing brand with a similar name.
