What this record means
The record shows that VAROOM is an abandoned service mark – the application was filed by Vertical Alliance Group, Inc., a Texas corporation, on Feb 23 2016, published for opposition on Jul 12 2016, received a Notice of Allowance on Sep 6 2016, and was abandoned on Apr 10 2017 because no Statement of Use was filed. The only goods listed are “providing online non‑downloadable software and web‑based applications for employee training, namely, online training systems, learning management systems, digital media content, and assessment programs to train, track, and report employee progress” in International Class 042, so a similar name used in that exact tech‑training space would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word VAROOM in other industries. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Apr 10 2017; no further dates are provided. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable training‑software brand, but the risk is limited to that specific service area.
