What this record means
The record shows that PETALS is an abandoned application, not a live or registered mark, and the owner listed is ATLANTIC PAPER CORP., a corporation organized in New York. The filing covered class 016 – paper goods and printed matter – specifically paper products such as facial tissues, toilet tissues, napkins and towels, with a first use date of June 4 1991. Because the claim is limited to those paper‑product categories, a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record still indicates a potential concern for any paper‑related items. The prosecution history reflects a non‑final office action in August 1992 followed by an abandonment on April 22 1993 due to a failure to respond, and there are no entries showing oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use PETALS for paper‑based products, but the record does not control every possible use of the word.
