FLORES SILVESTRES

What this record means

The record shows the mark FLORES SILVESTRES is cancelled, having been removed from the Principal Register on March 17 2007 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is FLORES SILVESTRES, S.A., a Colombian corporation. The registration covered only “fresh cut flowers” in International Class 031, so a later use of the same wording in the floral trade would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Flores Silvestres.” This was a Principal Register registration, not a Supplemental Register filing, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal examination steps leading to registration and later cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for fresh cut flowers, but the risk lessens for other goods or services.
