PETAL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PETAL” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead because the owner, BAKER INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, did not renew it. The registration covered well‑drilling tools and equipment, specifically basket structures used during cementing operations, and the mark was first used in commerce on June 1, 1937. Because the goods are highly specific to the oil and gas drilling industry, a similar name used for unrelated products would raise a much weaker concern, but the record still indicates that the wording was once protected in that particular field. The latest maintenance event was the cancellation on December 23, 2000, after the mark had already expired. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the drilling‑equipment sector, and the mark’s expiration means the name is no longer protected, though the earlier registration could still be a factor in a similarity analysis.
