According to the US Patent & Trademark Office website, the first "use in commerce" for the name "Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling" is listed as Dec. 31, 1971! Jim Crockett Promotions finally got trademark registration for the name in 1977. After it had been a while since JCP was promoting wrestling, the name was given "dead" status by the Trademark Office. Then the new Mid-Atlantic wrestling came along, and the name was given "live" status again in 2004.
