FLORES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark FLORES was registered on the Principal Register to Alis Technologies Inc., a Canadian corporation, but the registration was cancelled on April 22, 2006 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The only listed goods are “computer software for identification of language and character encoding, character set conversion, line breaking, hyphenation, word extraction and language sorting, and users’ manuals for use therewith sold as a unit” in International Class 009, meaning a similar name would raise the closest concern for software‑related products that process text or language data. The record does not give Alis Technologies control over every use of the word “Flores” in other fields. The prosecution history shows the application was filed in May 1998, approved for publication, and ultimately registered in July 1999 before the later cancellation; no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan software in the same technical area, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
