POND PLANET PASSION FOR WATER GARDENING
Serial 85578251 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled

Owner: Pond Planet LLC
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Filed Mar 23, 2012
Registered May 21, 2013

The record shows the mark POND PLANET PASSION FOR WATER GARDENING is cancelled, with the last meaningful event being a Section 8 cancellation on Dec 27 2019 because the registrant did not file an acceptable declaration; the owner listed is Pond Planet LLC, a Florida limited‑liability company. The registration covered Class 035 services for an on‑line retail store offering electric water‑garden pumps, pond décor, lighting fixtures, filters, tubing, pond‑maintenance products, fish foods, clarifiers, thermometers, dyes, plant food, aerators, netting, biological filters, plants and related accessories. A similar name used in the same online‑retail water‑garden space would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that specific e‑commerce and pond‑care context fall farther from the listed scope. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “pond,” “planet,” “passion,” or “water gardening.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history shows only a final refusal, approval for publication and eventual registration before the later cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable online store selling pond‑related equipment, because the cancelled registration still signals that the USPTO once recognized the mark for those exact goods and services.
