WALD DOMUS VIVENDI

What this record means

The record shows that “WALD DOMUS VIVENDI” is no longer active – it was cancelled on March 11 2021 after the underlying International Registration was cancelled, and the USPTO lists the mark as dead on the Principal Register, owned by Wald s.r.l. (a limited‑liability company organized in Italy). The registration covered two classes: Class 020 for interior and garden furniture, mirrors, picture frames and related wood‑cork‑cane‑wicker items such as chests, sideboards, divans and shelves; and Class 021 for household goods like food containers, plates, bowls, cookware, bakeware, pottery, glassware and decorative china ornaments. A similar name used for those kinds of furniture or household items would raise the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Wald,” “Domus” or “Vivendi.” The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was approved for publication, and ultimately registered on May 22 2012 before being cancelled; there are no entries indicating oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand furniture or kitchenware with a comparable name, because the cancelled registration still signals that the owner once claimed those goods.
