VIVI

What this record means

The record shows that the VIVI mark, filed by Autel Intelligent Technology Corp., Ltd. on May 23 2016, is now dead after being abandoned on March 16 2017 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action; there is no active registration or pending application. The only goods listed are in International Class 009 and cover computer software for photo and video recording, cloud‑based recording software, handheld digital photo and video devices, video recorders, cameras, photographic equipment, tripods, and related accessories, so a later use of “VIVI” in any of those technology‑focused photography or video products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “VIVI” outside that narrow scope. The prosecution history shows a non‑final office action in September 2016 and a voluntary amendment in July 2016, but the application was never allowed to proceed and was abandoned. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for camera‑related software or hardware.
