What this record means
The record shows that “THE WAY AMERICA SENDS LOVE” is a dead, cancelled service mark owned by Teleflora Inc., a California corporation. The mark was registered on August 11, 1981, but was cancelled on February 19, 1988 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The goods covered were rendering clearing house services to subscribing florists for the sale and delivery of flowers at near and distant locations, class 035. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the mark was used for floral delivery services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific services listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the 1988 cancellation. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern in floral delivery services, but no broader claim over the phrase itself.
