PETALS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PETALS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Petals, Inc., a California corporation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering children’s wearing apparel and accessories such as dresses, pants, tops, blouses, shirts, coats, hair bows, hair clips, hats, and shoes. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of children’s clothing and accessories, since that is the only goods listed. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the word “petals” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in May 1991, followed by abandonment in January 1992 after the applicant failed to respond. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied record. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific apparel and accessory scope remains a potential point of concern.
