RIGGS & FORSYTHE
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “RIGGS & FORSYTHE” is no longer live; it was cancelled on December 31, 2005 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner was Riggs & Forsythe Specialty Beverages Limited, a corporation organized in Illinois. The mark covered soft drinks under class 032, with first use on October 20, 1998. A similar name used for soft drinks or related light beverages would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only indicates that the specific registration is no longer enforceable. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of publication, allowance, and use‑amendment filings, with no opposition or court actions recorded. Since the supplied history shows no enforcement activity, the only visible risk is that a similar soft‑drink name could still be challenged by the former owner or others who hold related rights.
