What this record means
The record shows that the mark “COLOR FLASH” is no longer active; it was cancelled on April 24 2020 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Anthony Tesselaar Plants Pty Ltd, a corporation organized in Australia. The mark covered live plants, flowers, shrubs and trees, particularly live canna lily plants, in class 031. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the mark protects the specific wording used for those botanical goods. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “color” or “flash” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark was first registered in 1997, renewed in 2007, and finally cancelled in 2020. No opposition, cancellation, or court action is recorded, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you plan to use a similar name for live plants or related goods, this cancelled registration still signals a potential risk of confusion in that narrow field.
