PETAL PUSHERS

What this record means

The record shows that “PETAL PUSHERS” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by the Southern California District of the International Lutheran Laymen’s League, a California corporation. The mark covers ornamental ladel pins, printed booklets, programs, brochures, photographs, Christmas cards, and clothing such as hats, t‑shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, shirts and caps, all promoting float‑decorating services for annual floral pageants in Pasadena, California. A similar name would raise the closest concern for goods or services that are directly related to those promotional items or apparel linked to the same community event. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods and services listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was examined, published for opposition, and ultimately registered on March 28, 2000, with no indication of a Supplemental Register sequence. The latest meaningful event is the renewal on March 25, 2020, and the record shows no enforcement actions. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in the same or closely related categories could be viewed as infringing the registered mark.
