What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PEONY” is dead and was abandoned by Shanghai Printing Ink Factory, a corporation organized in China, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on May 6, 1992 and abandoned on May 10, 1993, and it was registered on the Principal Register for class 002 goods, specifically printing ink. Because the mark was only ever listed for printing ink, the closest record‑based concern for a similar name would arise if you were using “PEONY” in connection with printing inks or related ink products. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds the mark, but the record does not give you control over every use of the word; other rights could exist elsewhere. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name in the ink business, this history suggests a moderate risk of confusion with the abandoned mark, but the lack of current registration reduces the likelihood of immediate infringement.
