VIVI BARILLA

What this record means

The record shows that the VIVI BARILLA application is dead – it was abandoned on Dec 6 2015 after the underlying International Registration was cancelled, and no revival petition was filed; the owner listed is BARILLA G. E R. FRATELLI ‑ SOCIETÀ PER AZIONI. The filing covered a wide range of goods and services, including paper and printed matter (class 016), clothing, footwear and headgear (class 025), various meats and processed foods (class 029), staple foods such as coffee, tea, pasta and confectionery (class 030), advertising and business services (class 035), telecommunications (class 038), education, training and entertainment (class 041), and restaurant and hotel services (class 043). A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of those listed categories, because the record’s protection is limited to those specific descriptions and does not extend to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows a series of refusals in mid‑2006, an abandonment notice in early 2007, and the final cancellation notice in July 2016, but there are no entries indicating oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use VIVI BARILLA for food, clothing, publishing or related services, since the abandoned filing still signals that the owner once claimed those areas.
