AIFORM

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “AIFORM” was once registered on the Principal Register but has since been cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant, International Business Machines Corporation, failed to file a declaration of continued use. The cancelled registration covered computer programs and related manuals for developing, maintaining, and printing forms (class 009) and computer instruction manuals for those programs (class 016). A new user looking to adopt a similar name would find the closest concern in the software and instructional‑manual space, especially where the products are sold as a unit for form development. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “AIFORM”; it only reflects the specific goods listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The latest status event was the cancellation on July 20, 1998. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk of infringement, but the historical goods and services still present a notable concern in that niche.
