ORSONSerial 73811531 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: SUPRA (JAPAN) LTD.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Jul 10, 1989
Registered Apr 24, 1990
The record shows that the mark ORSON was registered on the Principal Register to SUPRA (JAPAN) LTD., a corporation organized in Japan, but the registration was cancelled on Oct 28 1996 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead rather than live or pending. The registration covered only Class 009 goods—consumer audio and video products such as televisions, remote controls, audio‑video recorders and players, radios, and stereo equipment like receivers, amplifiers and speakers—so a similar name used on those types of electronics would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “ORSON” in other industries or contexts. The prosecution history shows the application was examined, amended, published for opposition and ultimately registered, then later cancelled for the Section 8 failure; there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement action in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market audio‑visual hardware under a similar name, because the cancelled registration still signals prior use in that product area.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
