What this record means
The record shows that the mark “THE FIRST REAL SHRINK‑WRAPPED CD‑TITLE GENERATOR” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, ENIGMA INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS, LTD., a corporation organized in Israel, never filed a Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was filed on April 5, 1994 and was published for opposition on March 28, 1995. It was intended for use on computer software and manuals sold as a unit for creating full‑text searchable databases on CD‑ROM, including data in text, still images, video and sound. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the prosecution history shows the examiner’s amendment and a non‑final action before the Notice of Publication, but the record does not indicate any enforcement activity. A similar name that refers to software or CD‑ROM database creation would raise the closest concern. The last status event was the abandonment on June 21, 1996. For anyone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the specific software‑database area, though it does not preclude all other uses.
