The current federal status of this trademark filin

The current federal status of this trademark filing is ABANDONED - NO STATEMENT OF USE FILED.

I would assume that if an entity "abandons" a trademark, that it falls back to the public domain, at which point a different entity can apply to register it. I assume it might become available for re-registration by another entity even faster if there has been no statement of use filed (no chance of consumers being confused). But these are all complete assumptions on my part.

If that's the case, though, then maybe CytoDyn did a search of available drug-related names that contained anything relating to "Immuno", and decided to use Immuvance.

I'm not much of a fan of most drug names, they are hard for consumers to pronounce, and they rarely sound anything like the conditions they treat.

I can't say Immuvance rings any bells for me either. I get the "Immu" part -- and I suppose "vance" is a subset of "advance" or "advanced" to someone in a board room. But if I had a drug that could treat a broad swath of diseases, I'm not sure I would have gone in that direction.
