PUT IT IN WRITINGSerial 75857946 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Rubin, Jeffrey A.
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Class 042 - Scientific & Technology Services
Filed Nov 24, 1999
Registered Dec 19, 2000
The record shows that “PUT IT IN WRITING” was a service mark registered on the Principal Register on December 19, 2000, but it was cancelled on July 22, 2011 because the owner, Jeffrey A. Rubin, failed to file a declaration under Section 8. The mark covered publishing newsletters for others (Class 041) and writing and designing newsletters for others (Class 042). A new business using a similar name would face the closest concern in these two classes, where the mark’s original goods or services were offered. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides exclusive rights, but it does not erase the fact that the wording was once protected for those specific services. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially registered, then moved to Section 8 status, and finally cancelled; no opposition or court actions appear in the supplied data. The history contains no visible enforcement activity. If you’re considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the earlier registration still signals that the phrase was once deemed distinctive for newsletter‑related services.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
