What this record means
The record shows that the mark DIANE LOVE is cancelled; the registration was cancelled on Oct 22 1987 because the owner, Diane Love, Inc., did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the mark is now listed as “dead.” The registration covered Class 018 handbags, Class 021 cups, pitchers, vases, tea pots, bowls, platters and figurines, Class 026 artificial flowers, and Class 031 dried scented flowers, all used in commerce since the early 1970s. A similar name used for any of those goods would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Diane Love.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 1987. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond this or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market comparable products under a similar name.
