What this record means
The record shows that the mark “E‑FORMS RS” is live and registered on the Principal Register under class 042, owned by Thomson Reuters (Tax & Accounting) Inc., a Texas corporation. The mark protects online services that provide temporary use of non‑downloadable software for accountants to access, prepare, and print tax forms via the Internet, first used in commerce in December 1999. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that are essentially the same type of online tax‑preparation software or related accounting tools. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “E‑Forms” or “RS” in unrelated contexts. The most recent maintenance event was the renewal of the registration on December 30, 2023, and the next required action is the 10‑year renewal due in December 2033. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the new use falls within the same online tax‑preparation services.
