What this record means
The record shows that the mark “AVFORMS” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Becker Designed, Inc., a corporation organized in the District of Columbia. The registration covers replicas of electronic equipment composed primarily of acrylic, wood, aluminum, and plastic for display purposes, first used on October 15 2004 and in commerce on February 10 2005. A similar name would raise the closest concern for goods that are display replicas of electronic devices made from those materials. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration with no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register transfer. The most recent maintenance event was the renewal of the first 10‑year term on May 14 2015. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the same class suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the new use falls within the same or a closely related category.
