What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PETAL” was registered on the Principal Register by DAVOL RUBBER COMPANY, a corporation organized in Rhode Island, and that the registration has expired because it was not renewed. The only goods listed are hot water bottles and feminine syringes, and the mark’s use in commerce dates back to June 1934. Because the mark is no longer live, the owner no longer holds exclusive rights to those specific goods, but the historical registration still indicates that a similar name could raise a concern for those same products. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “PETAL.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the expiration on March 1, 1985. For anyone thinking of using a similar name for hot water bottles or feminine syringes, this history suggests a cautious approach, as the former owner once claimed rights to that exact wording in that narrow category.
