NETSCRIBE

What this record means

The record shows that NETSCRIBE, owned by Meridian Data, Inc., was registered on the Principal Register in 1993 but was cancelled on Dec 29 2000 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. It covered only one class – Class 009 – specifically “computer software containing a networking architecture for removable storage media; namely, recordable CD (Compact Disc), which provides transparent connectivity between user applications and the media on a network.” A similar name used for software or networking‑related products would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown. The record contains no opposition, cancellation, or court activity, so no enforcement signals appear. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same software‑networking space, but it does not block every possible use of the word.
