FLOWERING SPICES

What this record means

The record shows that “FLOWERING SPICES” is an abandoned application (status dead) that was filed by Fragrance Resources, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and it never moved beyond the notice‑of‑allowance stage because no Statement of Use was filed; the abandonment notice was mailed on May 10 2010. The only goods listed are in International Class 003 and include bath beads, bath crystals, bath gel, body lotions, cologne, cosmetics, fragrances for personal use, hair care products, soaps, sun‑care lotions and similar personal‑care items. A later filing that uses the same wording for anything outside those cosmetics and cleaning products would be the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “flowering” or “spices.” The prosecution history shows the usual extensions for a Statement of Use that were ultimately not satisfied, leading to abandonment; there are no opposition or cancellation entries, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market cosmetics or personal‑care products under a similar name.
