NATURAL FLOWERS

What this record means

The record shows that “NATURAL FLOWERS” is an abandoned application, listed as dead after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment dated March 24 2002; the owner on file is Donald Bruce & Co., a corporation organized in Illinois. The only goods listed are religious and fashion jewelry—including men’s, children’s, lockets, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, rings, key rings and hair accessories—so a similar name used for any of those items would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the filing never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “natural flowers.” The prosecution history shows an examiner assignment, a non‑final action mailed, an unresponsive duplicate paper, and finally abandonment, but no supplemental register filing appears. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on March 24 2002, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan jewelry under a similar name, especially in the same classes.
