FORSYTHE RACING TEAM

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FORSYTHE RACING TEAM” is dead, having been abandoned by the owner, Elwood J.B. Simpson, an individual. The abandoned application was filed on August 19, 1996, and the abandonment was recorded on February 13, 1997. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering racing equipment associated clothing such as shoes, helmets and miniatures thereof in the form of paper weights. Because the goods listed are specific to racing apparel, a similar name used for unrelated products would be farther from the scope of this record, while a name used for racing clothing or related gear would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “FORSYTHE” or “RACING TEAM.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations are visible in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that if they use it for racing apparel, they may encounter a meaningful concern, whereas use in unrelated areas would likely pose a lower risk.
