VIRDS POWERED BY V-RADS

What this record means

The record shows that “VIRDS POWERED BY V‑RADS” is an abandoned application, marked dead after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, with the last status change dated July 14 2008; the owner listed is Watchdog Video Corporation, a corporation organized in Indiana. The filing covered only one class—Class 009 for “Gamma radiation detector for electronic detection of hidden contraband”—so a similar name would raise the closest concern in the niche of radiation‑based detection equipment, not in unrelated fields. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “VIRDS” or “V‑RADS” in other industries or product categories. Because the application never reached registration, there is no supplemental‑register discussion to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on July 14 2008, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions, so no enforcement signal is visible. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a name in the same detection‑technology space, but the risk drops sharply outside that narrow technical area.
