What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PEONY” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Shanghai Tobacco Group Co. Ltd., a corporation organized in China. It protects the sale of tobacco and cigarettes, with first use in 1979 and use in commerce in 1996. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products in the tobacco and cigarette category, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the word “PEONY.” The mark’s most recent maintenance event was the third 10‑year renewal on January 22, 2020, and no later renewal date is supplied. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. If you plan to use “PEONY” for tobacco or related products, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
