M.T.I. AUTO-ORCHESTRA

What this record means

The record shows that M.T.I. AUTO-ORCHESTRA is a cancelled Principal Register registration; the last status event was a Section 8 cancellation on Oct 19 1988 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable declaration, and the mark is now listed as “dead.” Music Technology, Inc., a New York corporation, was the owner, and the registration covered only “an electronic sound emitting apparatus creating a rhythmic pattern to be used in conjunction with the playing of musical instruments” (Class 015). A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if it were used for comparable electronic music‑related devices, but the record does not extend control to other goods, services, or industries. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 action, or other enforcement activity, so the supplied history shows none. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a name that might be applied to similar music‑technology equipment.
