VIVENDI, A WORLD LEADER IN COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “VIVENDI, A WORLD LEADER IN COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT” is a cancelled Principal Register registration, with the last status change on June 8 2019 when the U.S. registration was cancelled because the corresponding International Registration was cancelled in whole or in part; the owner is listed as Vivendi, a Société Anonyme organized in France. The registration covered a very broad set of goods and services across classes 009, 016, 028, 035, 036, 038, 041, and 042, including apparatus for recording and transmitting sounds, images and data, computer hardware and software, printed magazines and journals about telecommunications and entertainment, video‑game machines, advertising and market‑research services, banking and insurance services delivered via global networks, telecommunications, online entertainment, and various IT consulting and design services. Because the record is limited to those listed categories, a similar name used in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Vivendi” or “communications and entertainment.” The prosecution history shows the mark was examined, approved for publication, and ultimately entered the Principal Register in 2011 before being cancelled, with the most recent meaningful event being the 2019 cancellation notice; no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that touches any of the listed communications, media, software, or financial‑service areas.
