FLORES MANTILLA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark FLORES MANTILLA is dead – it was abandoned on January 10, 2010 because the applicant did not respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Flores Mantilla, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation. The only goods covered are “Retail florist shops” in International Class 035, with a first use date of October 16, 1994. A similar name used for any kind of retail florist business would be the closest area of concern, since the record’s protection is limited to that specific service description; it does not extend to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows the usual examination steps, ending in an abandonment notice, and there are no entries indicating oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market floral‑shop services under a comparable name, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO once linked the wording to that line of business.
