SWALLOW & FLOWER

What this record means

The record shows that “SWALLOW & FLOWER” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 2688016) owned by Anita Tsoi, an individual, and it is no longer live as of the September 26, 2009 status date when the registration was cancelled for failure to file a Section 8 declaration. The registration covered cooked fruits and vegetables and meat extracts (Class 029) as well as vinegar, sauces and spices (Class 030), so a similar name used on comparable food products would present the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “swallow” or “flower” outside those specific food categories. The prosecution history shows the mark progressed through normal examination, was published for opposition in November 2002, registered in February 2003, and then fell into cancellation in 2009; no opposition or other enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand similar processed or staple foods under a comparable name.
