What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORMS” is dead on the Principal Register, having been abandoned by Advance Magazine Publishers Inc. after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension request. The mark was registered for class 025, covering men’s and women’s apparel such as tee‑shirts, caps, jackets, and tops. A similar name used in the clothing industry would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the specific scope shown. The abandonment event is the most recent meaningful status change, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are supplied. The prosecution history contains no opposition, cancellation, or court action, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the dead status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the prior registration in apparel still signals a potential concern if the new use is in that same category.
