VIVENDI, A WORLD OF VIDEO GAMES
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “VIVENDI, A WORLD OF VIDEO GAMES” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by VIVENDI, a société anonyme organized in France, and its U.S. registration was terminated on June 8 2019 after the underlying international registration was cancelled; the prosecution history also notes a total invalidation processed in December 2018. The mark covered a broad range of goods and services, most notably computer‑related hardware, software and video‑game programs in Class 009, printed and promotional materials in Class 016, stand‑alone video‑game machines and electronic game apparatus in Class 028, telecommunications and data‑communication services in Class 038, online entertainment and game hosting in Class 041, and computer‑program design and web‑hosting services in Class 042. Because the coverage is centered on video‑game and related technology fields, a similar name used for those kinds of products would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the listed scope. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “VIVENDI” or “A WORLD OF VIDEO GAMES.” No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the history, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that targets video‑game hardware, software, or online gaming services.
