VIVENDI TELECOM
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “VIVENDI TELECOM” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by VIVENDI, a société anonyme organized in France, and it is no longer live as of the status date July 28 2016, with the final cancellation notice mailed on February 24 2017. The registration covered a broad set of telecommunications‑related services and goods, including transmission of voice and data by telephone, fiber‑optic, satellite or computer networks (Class 038), administration of data and server networks (Class 035), and related printed and electronic media in Classes 009, 016, 041 and 042. Because the mark was granted after an initial descriptiveness refusal and later cancelled, the record does not give VIVENDI control over every use of the words “VIVENDI” or “TELECOM,” but a similar name used in the same telecom‑service arena would raise the closest record‑based concern. The prosecution history shows a refusal, amendment and eventual registration, followed by a series of cancellations and a final “total invalidation” of the international registration. No oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name for telecom services, since the cancelled registration still signals that the USPTO once found the mark closely tied to those goods and services.
