VAVOOM

What this record means

The record shows that VAVOOM is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the owner, Schering‑Plough HealthCare Products, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued, with the abandonment notice dated December 19 2007 and the status date of November 15 2007. The only goods listed are “Insoles and footwear” in International Class 025, so a similar name used for shoes, socks or other apparel‑related items would be the closest area of concern based on this filing. The record does not give the owner control over the word VAVOOM in unrelated fields such as software, food or services. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never reached registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice; no opposition, cancellation or court actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a footwear brand, but the risk drops sharply for dissimilar product categories.
