PETAL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PETAL” is no longer live; it was a principal registration that expired because the owner, COLGATE‑PALMOLIVE COMPANY, did not renew it. The registration covered the single class 003, cosmetics and cleaning, specifically the good “FABRIC SOFTENER.” A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class and for that particular product. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PETAL” in other goods or services. The prosecution history shows the mark was registered in 1965, renewed once in 1985, and then cancelled in 2006 when the owner failed to file a renewal. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for a fabric softener or related cosmetic product, this expired registration suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the former owner’s mark.
