LEVIS ADDING COLOR TO PEOPLE'S LIVES
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows the application for LEVIS ADDING COLOR TO PEOPLE'S LIVES was abandoned and is now dead; the owner listed is Akzo Nobel Coatings International B.V. The filing covered paints, varnishes, lacquers, thinners, colouring matters and related additives (class 002), machines and tools for applying those finishes (classes 007, 008, 016), advisory services for building refurbishment and colour‑scheming (class 037), paint‑mixing services (class 040) and colour‑matching advice (class 042). A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of those paint‑related categories, because the record’s protection is limited to those specific goods and services. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows a refusal in 2010 followed by abandonment notices in early 2011 and a final disposition in 2012, with the International Registration formally cancelled in 2020. No opposition, cancellation proceeding or court action appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name for paint‑related products or services.
