What this record means
The record shows that “HOUSE OF FORSYTHE” is a dead Supplemental Register registration owned by Bohemian Distributing Company, a California corporation. The mark was registered on October 4, 1966 for the specific good of scotch whisky, with first use in March 1964 and use in commerce by October 1964. Because it is on the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history indicates that the mark was initially refused on a descriptiveness ground and later amended to appear on the Supplemental Register; this sequence means the mark was never accepted for the Principal Register. The status event that matters is the expiration on January 4, 1987, after which the registration lapsed. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. A similar name used for scotch whisky or closely related alcoholic beverages would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern if the new use is in the whisky market, but the expired status means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights.
