ESP FLOWERING LAWN

What this record means

The record shows that “ESP FLOWERING LAWN” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status dead) owned by John Bodger & Sons Company; the cancellation was entered on March 6 2004 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only “flower seeds” in International Class 031, so a later use of a similar name would be most concerning if it also involved selling or distributing flower seeds. The record does not give the owner any control over the words “ESP,” “FLOWERING,” or “LAWN” in other product categories or contexts. There is no Supplemental Register filing, and the prosecution history simply moves from approval to registration and then to the Section 8 cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market flower seeds under a comparable name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
