VAVOO

What this record means

The record shows that VAVOO, owned by VAVOO AG (a Swiss corporation), was abandoned on April 18 2019 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The application covered Class 009 goods – recorded data, software, media software, and a range of information‑technology and audiovisual equipment such as display apparatus, television receivers, film and video apparatus, and set‑top boxes – with a first use date of July 13 2017. Because the filing is dead, the USPTO record does not give VAVOO AG control over every possible use of the word “VAVOO,” but the closest area of concern would be products that fall within those electronic and software categories. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action issued on September 5 2018 and an abandonment notice on April 18 2019, after which no further maintenance or enforcement activity appears in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a similar name for comparable tech or media hardware, since the dead application still signals that the USPTO once linked the term to that sector.
