A plain and simple fact in the history of 21st Century Digital™ Group's Brand is that when I, Daniel M. Rosenblum established TTS Industries on May 20th 1996 and then established 21st Century Digital® on December 9th 1996, my short term agenda included a goal of raising capital in the name of 21st Century Digital™ through an Initial Public Offering which I hoped to calendar for President's Day week in 1998. My hope in mid- 1996 was to have Citibank as lead underwriter. My goal was to raise $350 million dollars by selling 1/4 of 21st Century Digital, which I, on my own, gave a 1996-1998 valuation of approximately $1.5 billion. Note that the New York Times reported on March 13 1998 that $ 19.5 Billion was invested in American Stock Mutual Funds during February 1998, up from $ 14.6 Billion in January 1998. However, IPO preparation was impossible.

 

President's Day Week : 21st Century Digital™ Trademark & Commercial Agenda

Focus on President's Day Week 1998 21st Century Digital® IPO Plan & Related 21st Century Digital® 1998 History

There are  multiple  anecdotes and stories which serve to document and convey the history of, my commercial use of, and my agenda  for the 21st Century Digital® Trademark; these anecdotes and stories and history include, but are not limited to, for example, my college education and advanced degree education 1989-2011 or my {Daniel Mark Rosenblum} 2008 patent application for a "21st Century Digital™ Network" in Patent Application Publication Number US 2009/0248536 Al 2008 . Presently, during 1st quarter 2014, while a primary purpose of this webpage is to advertise and market, another primary purpose of this webpage is dedicated to document and convey the history of, my commercial use of, and my continuing commercial agenda  for  21st Century Digital®. The exposition below, and related documentation conveys my commercial use of, and my continuing commercial agenda  for  21st Century Digital®.

The purpose of this webpage is not to litigate the subject matter below, although all such rights are reserved.This webpage is dedicated to telling the story of the 21st Century Digital Commercial Agenda and Trademark by way of reference to calendered commercial plans, at the time the business was established during 1996, to fund the 21st Century Digital™ venture during 1998; and, below, documentation of the actual 21st Century Digital™ 1998 commercial history. Presently, during 1st quarter 2014 I am publishing this page with most pertinent documentation and facts, but will continue to edit and elaborate moving forward, given allocation of resources and a desire to publish this, and other web pages, etc.

Please note that below, as documented below, a great deal of actual 21st Century Digital™ 1998 commercial history relates to the calendar year on or about Labor Day and Columbus Day 1998 (please see document images and United States Postal Service Labor Day and Columbus Day 1998 receipt images below)

WINTER 1996-1997 : IPO UNDERWRITER DISCUSSIONS: Lehman, Smith Barney

During December 1996 I offered Smith Barney the right to sell 321,428.57 shares, or 3% of the 1/4 of 21st Century Digital I was prepared to sell in an IPO calendared for President's Week 1998 at $35 per share. My offer to Smith Barney included an offer for Smith Barney to secure such right to sell $ 11.25 million worth of 21st Century Digital by incurring 5% of their sale at a cash value determined to be $ 562,500.00. I offered the same terms to Lehman Brothers during January 1997, except the offer was not capped at a right to sell 3% but rather that my offer was that Lehman's right to sell was unlimited except to the extent that Smith Barney might accept to sell 3%, and to the extent that owner 21st Century Digital might, until such time that Lehman secured any right to sell by incurring 5% cash value, seek additional underwriters to sell the 1/4 of 21st Century Digital at IPO Presidents Week 1998, being held of $ 1.5 billion, asking $375 million for 25%. A corollary to the IPO preparation during 4th quarter 1996 was my concomitant calendaring of a Patent Application for a 21st Century Digital Network. My intended calendar in place during 4th quarter 1996 was to seek patent registration beginning October 15th, 1997 (which would be four (4) months prior to the intended Presidents Week 1998 IPO seeking to raise $350 Million). That is, the timeline was to be actively and constructively writing the provisional patent for a "21st Century Digital Network" registration filing for the one year period October 1996 through October 1997 while engaging in dialogue with underwriters, venture capitalists, and the like to support the scheduled sale in February 1998 to sell 1/4 of 21st Century Digital to capitalize TTS Industries' sponsorship of varied initiatives. That would have put the IPO roughly 18 months following the first bank loan application I made for the venture, an application I made to Citibank during summer 1996 in proximity to the day I establised TTS Industries at the New York County Clerk's office on May 20 1996.

 

 

May 20th 1996 Sole Proprietorship TTS Industries Established

During May of 1996 I formalized my commercial intent for my brand "21st Century Digital™" by establishing a Sole Proprietorship entitled "Daniel M. Rosenblum, Sponsor for TTS Industries"with the Business Certificate displayed here:

21st Century Digital®

 

 

I defined "TTS" in 1995 and 1996 in commercial correspondence as 21st Century Digital®

"The 21st Century Digital

   Telecommunications Network

    Serving Private Enterprise Industries"

 

 

 

 

Further, I defined during 1995 and 1996 the commercial intent for the mark " 21st Century Digital " insofar as an internet technology network product as:

"....21st Century Digital Networks are enabled through contracts between Network Administrator, Manufacturer of Network Hardware, Writer of Network Operating System, and Network Information Carrier which contracts provide for secure digital transfer of trademarked and/or copyrighted data....."

            21st Century Digital®21st Century Digital®

"..... A 21st Century Digital Network is a consumer driven internet technology based digital commercial network defined by specific licensing agreements between the network's Manufacturers of Hardware, the Network's Writer of Operating System, the network's Information Carriers, and the network's Administrator. The specific licensing agreements are writ and contracted to by the entities for the purpose and with the goal of maintaining the integrity of property rights in data transferred, processed, or transmitted on said network(s). By patenting the method/network design structure, a lynchpin for proprietary consumer driven digital commercial networks is created, unlike any utilized to date....."

"....The TTS CLA's (Contractual Licensing Agreements) are anchored by/for/in 1) United States Governance, 2) any applicable patents, and 3) market considerations for the purpose of maintaining integrity of trademark and copyright processed, transmitted, or otherwise transferred on network. This, whilst serving business/consumer rights, needs, supply, and demand. Each/any individual network is owned by network administrators, carriers, manufacturers, writers, contract holders, contract providers and users pertaining thereto as agreed. In this manner proprietary rights are associated with national consumer driven commercial digital networks in accordance with us governance. Commerce between networks is likewise governed in accordance with the CLA's as anchored by/for/in 1) United States governance, 2) any applicable patents, and 3) market considerations.”

"...The use of items Trademarked and/or Copyrighted in the United States of America for commercial purposes is subject to United States Federal Trade Commission, US Department of Justice, US Department of the Treasury, US Federal Reserve, US Securities and Exchange Commission, and other Federal, State, and Municipal governance, be it Executive, Legislative, or Judicial in nature as is provided by law. "

 

By June 11 of 1996, a few weeks after May 20th 1996 formal founding of TTS Industries, I opened my business Post Office Box 3377 at Grand Central Station in the name of TTS Industries, to receive mail in the name of "21st Century Digital"(a copy of the letter to the USPS Postmaster at Grand Central Station).

Also between May 20th 1996 and June 11th 1996 I applied for one business loan with one bank, Citibank, at the Citibank headquarters, 399 Park Avenue New York NY.

Finally, in December 1996 I registered the Sole Proprietorship "21st Century Digital" where the mark is defined in  contemporaneous commercial correspondence as stated above. 16 years later, the mark was registered as a trademark for those same purposes in 4 USPTO Trademark classes.

December 9th, 1996 Sole Proprietorship Twenty First Century Digital Established

Later that same year of the founding of TTS Industries (as "Daniel M. Rosenblum, Sponsor for the 21st Century Digital Telecommunications Network Serving Private Enterprise Industries"), I further formalized my commercial use and intent for the mark "21st Century Digital" by establishing a second Sole Proprietorship during 1996. On December 9th, 1996, the same weekend which Alan Greenspan first described the dot-com bubble as "irrational exhuberance" to international renown, I established the Sole Proprietorship "21st Century Digital" at 60 Centre Street in Manhattan, New York:

EVENTS DECEMBER 1996 THROUGH DECEMBER 1998 PRECLUDED A PRESIDENT'S WEEK 1998 21ST CENTURY DIGITAL® INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

The purpose of this webpage is not to litigate the subject matter below, although all such rights are reserved. This webpage is dedicated to documentation of the actual 21st Century Digital™ 1998 commercial history which transpired instead of the original calendared plans to fund the 21st Century Digital agenda. (For additional info on obstacles and hurdles which occurred during the first decade of the 21st Century Digital™ Brand agenda, please see return to the website homepage).

The provisional patent application for a "21st Century Digital Network" was not being writ during the one year period October 1996 through October 1997 while engaging in dialogue with underwriters, venture capitalists, and the like to support the scheduled sale in February 1998 of 1/4 of 21st Century Digital to capitalize TTS Industries' sponsorship of varied initiatives. Instead, my {Daniel Mark Rosenblum} patent application for a "21st Century Digital™ Network" in Patent Application Publication Number US 2009/0248536 Al 2008 was filed roughly a decade later, in 2008, based on a provisional application I filed with the USPTO on March 23rd 2007. The IPO was not Presidents Week 1998, roughly 18 months following the first bank loan application for the venture, which was an application made to Citibank during summer 1996 in proximity to the day TTS Industries was established at the New York County Clerk's office on May 20 1996, displayed above.

Rather, instead of Citibank as lead underwriter for a 21st Century Digital™ 1998 President's Week IPO, during 1998, Labor Day Weekend ended up being a very busy time in the name of the 21st Century Digital brand, and, by approximately Columbus Day 1998 a claim on Citibank's total consolidated assets in the name of 21st Century Digital™ was filed, and related 1998 history documented in correspondence in the name of 21st Century Digital™ to various Federal and State regulatory, administrative, legislative, executive, and judicial offices:

The 9/8/98 21st Century Digital Federal Reserve Board comment on the Citigroup merger was sent USPS Registered Mail to the Federal Reserve Board with copies to other US Regulatory Agencies as indicated below. A month later, in accordance with US Federal Reserve merger calendar and related deliberation, the Citigroup merger was approved and I had filed my claim on Citigroup. Here is my October 8 1998 letter to the Federal Reserve Board and below are my Labor Day 1998 materials in the name of the 21st Century Digital® Brand:
