FLOWERING TOPS

What this record means

The record shows that “FLOWERING TOPS” is an abandoned application, filed by Paul Edward Klopper on June 17 1999 and marked dead after a failure to respond to an Office action on January 29 2001; no registration was ever issued. The only goods listed are “Pharmaceutical preparation” in International Class 5, with a first use date of June 11 1999, so a similar name used for drugs, vitamins or other health‑related products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over the wording in unrelated fields such as clothing, food or services, and it never reached the Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on January 29 2001, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action, a final refusal, and then abandonment, but there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions recorded. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a pharmaceutical‑type brand, but the risk drops sharply for other product categories.
