What this record means
The record shows that WORDRITE is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment dated March 28 1986, and the owner listed as P.S.S.T., INC., a Missouri corporation. The only goods covered are “computer programs for business and home or personal computers” in International Class 009, so a later use of WORDRITE for software or related computer products would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in September 1985, a letter of suspension in October 1984, and an examiner’s amendment in September 1984, but the application never reached registration. No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a software‑related brand using the same name.
