What this record means
The record shows that FLOR is a live, Principal Register trademark owned by Interface, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and it covers “modular carpeting and rugs” (class 027) and “retail store services featuring modular carpeting and rugs” (class 035). Because the goods and services are limited to flooring products and related retail services, the closest area of concern for a similar name would be any other carpet, rug, or flooring line or a store that sells those items. The record does not give Interface control over every use of the word FLOR in unrelated fields, such as software or clothing. The prosecution history shows the application was filed in 2008, approved for the Principal Register in 2009, and the most recent meaningful event is the first‑renewal filing and acceptance on September 17 2019, confirming the registration is current. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market carpet‑related products under a similar name.
