PETAL PALS

What this record means

The record shows that PETAL PALS is a cancelled Principal Register registration; the last status event was a Section 8 cancellation on February 9 2002 because the registrant, Susan K. Tate, did not file an acceptable declaration, and the mark is no longer live. The registration covered only class 016 – paper goods and printed matter – specifically children’s books, stationery, instructional and teaching materials for children (including religious content), coloring books, gift‑wrapping paper, greeting cards and patterns for making stuffed animals. A similar name used for anything in that paper‑goods niche would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories fall farther from the listed scope but are not automatically free of risk. The prosecution history shows normal examination steps leading to registration in 1995 and later cancellation, with no oppositions, extensions or court actions noted. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable mark in the same class of goods.
