What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORSYTHE AUDIO SYSTEMS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, LOUD Technologies Inc., failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on June 4 2009 and abandoned on November 11 2010. It was sought on the Principal Register for goods in class 009, specifically acoustic and sound‑reinforcement equipment such as loudspeakers, transducers, electronic signal processors, transmitters, and amplifiers. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same category of electronic audio equipment. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “FORSYTHE” or “AUDIO SYSTEMS” outside that specific product line. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of non‑final actions and amendments, but no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The last significant event was the abandonment notice on November 11 2010, and no enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, yet the specific goods listed still present a potential risk if the new use overlaps those audio‑equipment categories.
