RIGGS & FORSYTHE SPECIALTY BEVERAGES LIMITED R & F RIGGS & FORSYTHE ESSE QUAM VIDERE

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “RIGGS & FORSYTHE SPECIALTY BEVERAGES LIMITED R & F RIGGS & FORSYTHE ESSE QUAM VIDERE” was registered on the Principal Register on March 23, 1999, but the registration was cancelled on December 31, 2005 because the owner, Riggs & Forsythe Specialty Beverages Limited, did not file a required declaration under Section 8. The mark covered the class 032 goods of soft drinks, specifically light beverages. A similar name used for soft drinks or related beverage products would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of allowance, use amendments, and extensions, but no opposition or court actions are recorded. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation in 2005, and no enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests the mark no longer protects that wording, but the prior registration still signals a potential risk if the name is used for soft drinks.
