VIVENDI, A WORLD OF IMAGES
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “VIVENDI, A WORLD OF IMAGES” is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by VIVENDI, a Société anonyme organized in France; the cancellation was recorded on June 8 2019 after the underlying international registration was cancelled, with a final notice of that effect sent on January 3 2020. The registration covered a broad set of goods and services in classes 009 (electrical and scientific apparatus such as computers, software for downloading images, and multimedia equipment), 016 (paper goods and printed matter including books and manuals related to telecommunications and computers), 038 (communication services like telephone, fiber‑optic, data and satellite transmission, and news agency services), and 041 (education and entertainment services including visual‑art training, film and music production, and cultural events). A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of those areas, especially where image‑related software, multimedia hardware, or visual‑art education is offered. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “VIVENDI” or “IMAGES” outside the listed scopes. The prosecution history shows an initial refusal in 2012 that was later overcome, leading to registration in 2013, but the later cancellation reflects the loss of the underlying international filing rather than a defect in the U.S. examination. No oppositions, cancellations, 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 similar tech, media, or educational services.
