What this record means
The record shows that PULP‑LIT, owned by Pulp‑Lit, Inc., is an abandoned application; the USPTO marked it “dead” after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated February 21 2018. The filing covered Class 016 – paper goods and printed matter – specifically printed books, e‑books, audiobooks, magazines, podcasts, blogs and video productions, all first used in commerce on June 14 2014. Because the claim is limited to those publishing‑related goods, a similar name used for unrelated products such as clothing or food would be farther from the scope shown here, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history records only the non‑final action and the eventual abandonment, and no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear, so there’s no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a publishing‑related brand, but the record does not block other industries.
