FLORES ACUARELA

What this record means

The record shows that “FLORES ACUARELA” is a cancelled Principal Register mark, with the cancellation dated Dec 7 2002 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is FLORES ACUARELA, S.A., a Colombian corporation. The registration covered only live flowers in International Class 031, so a later use of the same wording on unrelated goods—say, clothing, software or services—would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Flores” or “Acuarela.” The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was published for opposition in Dec 1995, registered in Mar 1996, and then cancelled in 2002; there are no entries indicating oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to sell live flowers under a similar name, but the risk drops for dissimilar product categories.
