VIVI

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “VIVI” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is OGNISSOLE S.R.L., a corporation organized in Italy, and the mark was filed on October 25, 2010 for use in commerce in the United States under §1(a). The only goods listed are wines, with first use in 2010. Because the mark was abandoned, it no longer confers any rights, but the history indicates that the owner once sought protection for wine products. The record does not establish control over every use of the word “VIVI”; it only shows a past attempt to register it for a narrow category of goods. No enforcement activity, such as oppositions or cancellations, appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be the use of “VIVI” in the wine market, but the abandoned status suggests that the risk of conflict is lower than for an active registration.
