What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PUT IT ON DVD” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Digital Wave Productions, Inc., a corporation organized in Oregon, and the mark was filed on an intent‑to‑use basis. The only goods listed are “Provide longterm preservation of video images through the transfer of sound and images from video sources to digital video discs” in class 042. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but it does create a closer concern for uses that involve transferring video or audio to digital video discs or similar preservation services. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action mailed and then abandonment; no supplemental register status or enforcement actions appear. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on June 5, 2002. For someone thinking of a similar name, the record suggests a potential risk if the new use falls within the same preservation or transfer services, but the absence of a registration means the owner’s rights are limited to that abandoned filing.
