*FLOWER
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that *FLOWER was a Principal Register service mark owned by Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems, Inc., but it was cancelled on August 7 2002 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is no longer live. The registration covered “retail florist telephone information and order services via cellular telephone” in International Class 042, meaning the closest area of concern would be a name used for similar florist‑information or ordering services delivered over a cell phone. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word *FLOWER in other contexts or industries. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation filing in 2002, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by others, or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable cellular‑based florist service, but the cancellation does reduce the direct risk.
