United States Ninth Circuit

Where a trademark holder engaged in "naked licensing" of its trademark to a winemaker and played no role in holding the wine to a standard of quality, the holder abandoned the mark and cancellation was proper; portions of depositions and exhibits not filed with the district court are not a part of the record on appeal, nor are documents "lodged" but not filed.
