LATE BLOOMERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “LATE BLOOMERS” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Late Bloomers, a corporation organized in Maine, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 042, covering retail and wholesale stores, distributorships, and mail‑order services that sell computer software, printed materials, books, and journals in the gardening and landscaping fields. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the closest area of concern would be businesses that sell or distribute similar gardening or landscaping software or printed materials. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of publication, opposition, and allowance, with no supplemental register involvement. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on July 29, 1997, and no enforcement activity is recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status lowers the risk, but the specific goods and services listed still represent a potential concern if used in the same niche.
