What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PEONY” is no longer active; it was cancelled on May 1 2005 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Beijing Peony Electronic Group Co., a corporation organized in China. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in class 009 for televisions, with first use in March 1991 and use in commerce by October 1993. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark does not currently confer any rights, but the history indicates that the owner once claimed protection for that specific product. A similar name used for televisions or related electrical and scientific apparatus could raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The supplied history shows no opposition, cancellation after publication, or court action, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the past registration for televisions still suggests a potential concern if the new use is in that area.
