FORSYTHE RACING
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORSYTHE RACING” was registered on the Principal Register in 2000 but was cancelled in 2007 because the owner, Forsythe Racing, Inc., did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark covered entertainment services, specifically motor sport racing, under class 041. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same or closely related motor sport racing entertainment services. The cancellation means the mark no longer grants exclusive rights, but the record does not remove any prior rights the owner may have had before cancellation, nor does it prevent others from using the wording in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration and later cancellation, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the visible risk is that the cancelled mark still signals prior use in motor sport racing, so caution is advised if entering that market.
