LILY PAD

What this record means

The record shows that “LILY PAD” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 2231020) owned by the individual Willis H. Alderman; the cancellation was entered on Dec 17 2005 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the mark is now dead. The registration covered only “portable cushion” in International Class 020, with a first use date of Dec 03 1998, so a similar name used for anything else—say, software, clothing, or food—would fall outside the narrow scope the record actually protects and would be the closest area of concern only for cushion‑type products. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “lily pad.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal allowance, statement‑of‑use extensions and the final cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market a cushion‑like product under a similar name, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods.
