VA VA VOOM

What this record means

The record shows that “VA VA VOOM” is an abandoned application, not a live or registered mark, and the listed owner is Edward Bess, Inc., a New York corporation. The filing covered Class 3 cosmetics and cleaning products – specifically fragrances such as perfume, cologne, eau de toilette, aftershave, scented body sprays and personal deodorants, plus shower gels, body lotions, body powders and soaps for personal use. Because the protection was limited to those goods, a similar name used on unrelated products would be a farther concern, while a name used on any of the listed cosmetics could raise a closer, record‑based issue. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in October 2011 followed by an abandonment notice and abandonment on May 3 2012 after the applicant failed to respond, and there are no visible enforcement actions in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “VA VA VOOM” for comparable cosmetics or personal care items.
