MY VILEDA MAKES MY LIFE EASIER
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MY VILEDA MAKES MY LIFE EASIER” is dead and was abandoned by Carl Freudenberg KG, a limited partnership organized in Germany, after a refusal on the Principal Register. The mark covered a wide range of cleaning and household goods, including disposable cloths, floor‑cleaning machines, and table cloths, all listed under classes 003, 007, 016, 020, 021, 022, and 024. Because the goods are all cleaning or household items, a similar name used for products or services in those same areas would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, especially outside the listed goods. The prosecution history shows a refusal and subsequent cancellation, with no movement to the Supplemental Register. The latest event was the abandonment notice on April 9, 2013, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the name is used for comparable cleaning or household products.
