BLOOMING

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BLOOMING” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, American Impressions, LLC, failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on May 11, 2000 and was published for opposition on July 23, 2002, with a Notice of Allowance mailed on October 15, 2002. The only goods listed are perfume, a cosmetic and cleaning product, under class 003. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Blooming.” The closest area of concern for a new name would be in the perfume or cosmetic space, where the wording is identical. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on April 16, 2003. If you are thinking of using a similar name in the perfume or cosmetic market, this record suggests a potential risk of confusion with a previously abandoned mark in that exact category.
