FORSYTHE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FORSYTHE” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is SeaFive International Corp., a corporation organized in Washington. The mark was filed on July 27, 2011 for use in commerce on audio equipment, specifically loudspeakers, under class 009. A similar name used for loudspeakers or related audio devices would raise the closest record‑based concern. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the word “FORSYTHE.” The prosecution history shows a final refusal in July 2012 and subsequent abandonment in February 2013, with no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 19, 2013. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied record. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods of loudspeakers still represent a focused area of concern.
