JAN DE GRAAFF

What this record means

The record shows that “JAN DE GRAAFF” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by VANDENBERG BULB COMPANY INC.; the cancellation was entered on Dec 27 2003 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, and the mark is now dead. The registration covered only class 031 – living plants, live flowers and flower bulbs – so a later use of the same wording on horticultural products would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields such as clothing or software fall outside the scope shown in the record. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “JAN DE GRAAFF.” Because the mark was on the Principal Register, there is no Supplemental Register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2003, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond that, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market plants or bulbs under a similar name.
