What this record means
The record shows that “GRUPPO VAVA” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after an appeal of the examining attorney’s final refusal, with the last status update on August 4 2026, and the owner listed as ADG VANGUARD IP LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company. The filing covered only clothing in International Class 025, specifically items such as blazers, shirts, dresses, shoes, hats, belts and related apparel, but expressly excluded lingerie and intimate apparel. Because the protection was limited to those clothing goods, a similar name used for unrelated products would be farther from the scope shown here, and the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “GRUPPO” or “VAVA.” The prosecution history is empty, so there’s no indication of a Supplemental Register filing or any descriptiveness refusal. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement signal appears. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market clothing under a comparable name, since the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO found a conflict in that sector.
