RIGGS & FORSYTHE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “RIGGS & FORSYTHE” was registered on the Principal Register on March 30 1999 for the class 032 goods of soft drinks, but the registration was cancelled on January 7 2006 because the owner, Riggs & Forsythe Specialty Beverages Limited, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The cancelled status means the mark is no longer enforceable in federal court, but the history still indicates that the owner once claimed rights to that name for soft drinks. A similar name used for soft drinks or related beverage products would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the specific scope shown. The record contains no evidence of oppositions, extensions, or other enforcement actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are considering a similar name for soft drinks, this history suggests a meaningful concern that the name was once protected in that category.
