Production and distribution of monoscopic and stereoscopic, electronic, digital video and film 041-1113

6-11-09 This service involves the actual creation of the videos and films and the accompanying activity of distributing it to movie theatres for display to the public. This is not the case when distribution relates to videotapes, audio tapes or other hard goods that result from the production of visual or audio entertainment. When these goods are distributed, it is the same as the distribution of any other kind of hard goods by any other manufacturer. For this reason, distribution of videotapes, audiotapes, video disks, etc. should not be accepted as a service even when the distribution is linked to the production of these goods. The production of the entertainment product is perfectly acceptable in Class 41; however, the distribution of the hard goods that result from that production is not a service in Class 41.
