"PUT IT TO THE TEST!"

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PUT IT TO THE TEST!” is dead on the Principal Register, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Matrix System Automotive Finishes, Inc., a Michigan corporation. The mark was registered for automotive paint and coatings used for automobile finishing, with first use in October 2000. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products or services that involve automotive paint or coatings, as that is the exact scope shown. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only covers the specific goods listed. The prosecution history ends with an abandonment notice in May 2006, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the visible risk is that the mark’s abandoned status removes the legal barrier, but the earlier registration still signals that the wording was once protected for automotive paint and coatings.
