PURPLESerial 78100850 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: VIACOM INTERNATIONAL INC.
Class 038 - Communication Services
Filed Jan 04, 2002
The record shows that “PURPLE” is an abandoned service‑mark application (status “dead”) that was filed by Viacom International Inc., a Delaware corporation, on Jan 4 2002 and later abandoned on Oct 9 2003 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are “television broadcasting services via cable, satellite and other means” in International Class 38, so a later user of “PURPLE” for those same broadcasting services would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Viacom control over every other use of the word “PURPLE.” This was a Principal Register filing, not a Supplemental Register filing, and the prosecution history simply tracks the notice of allowance, extensions for a statement of use, and the final abandonment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on Oct 9 2003, and no opposition or cancellation actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use “PURPLE” in the same broadcasting context.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
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.
