EFORMS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “EFORMS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an office action. The owner listed is eFORMS CORPORATION, a corporation organized in North Carolina, and the mark was filed on June 22, 1998. The only goods listed are computer program software in class 009, with first use in October 1997 and use in commerce in April 1998. A similar name would raise the closest concern for software products or related electronic applications, but the record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in February 1999, assignment to an examiner in January 1999, and abandonment in December 1999. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, yet the specific software context remains a potential point of concern.
