GARDEN BLOOMERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GARDEN BLOOMERS” is dead because the owner, Danny H. Takao, failed to respond to an Office action and the application was abandoned on March 6, 2002. The mark was filed as a service mark on the Principal Register for advertising and business services related to wholesale distributorship nursery services featuring live plants in the nature of perennials, specifically in class 035. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class, where the mark covers advertising and business services for nursery wholesale distribution of perennials. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only covers the specific goods and services listed. The prosecution history shows a typical sequence of examination, with a notice of allowance and a use amendment, but no supplemental register involvement. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer active, but the specific class and services remain a potential point of caution.
