What this record means
The record shows that * FLOWERS is an abandoned service mark, filed by John M. Matras as an intent‑to‑use application on July 10, 1997, and the USPTO recorded abandonment on February 23, 2000 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods and services listed are “retail florist shops featuring flowers and floral products; and computerized on‑line retail services featuring flowers and floral products” in International Class 035, so a similar name used in any kind of flower‑related retail or online flower sales would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “flowers” in unrelated fields. Because the mark was never issued on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry in February 2000, and no enforcement actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market flower‑related services under a similar name.
