FORSYTHE RACING

What this record means

The record shows that “FORSYTHE RACING” is a dead, cancelled mark that was once registered on the Principal Register by Forsythe Racing, Inc., a corporation organized in Illinois. The mark covered clothing items such as shirts, sweatshirts, pants, jackets, sweaters, jumpsuits, coveralls, belts, sport shoes, hats, and caps, all first used in commerce on August 14 1983. A similar name used for those same apparel and footwear items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “FORSYTHE” or “RACING” outside that specific apparel scope. The prosecution history shows the mark was published for opposition, registered, and then cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant failed to file a declaration; no opposition or court actions appear. The latest status event was the cancellation on March 31 2007. For someone looking to use a similar name in apparel, the cancelled status reduces but does not eliminate the risk of confusion with this former mark.
