What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PETALS” was registered on the Principal Register on March 25, 1997, but the registration was cancelled on December 27, 2003 because the owner, Petals, Inc., a California corporation, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered children’s clothing such as stockings, leggings, skirts, dresses, pants, shorts, unitards, tops, leotards, shirts, blouses, sweaters, hats and gloves. A similar name used for those specific apparel items would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides exclusive rights, but the history still indicates that the owner once claimed protection over that apparel line. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk if the name is used for children’s clothing, but less concern for unrelated products.
