What this record means
The record shows that “FLOWERS FOR THE SOUL” was registered on the Principal Register in 2009 for greeting cards under class 016, but the registration was cancelled in 2020 because the owner, Auromere, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark’s scope is limited to greeting cards, so a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would raise a much weaker concern, though the exact wording remains protected in that specific category. The prosecution history indicates a straightforward allowance and registration process with no supplemental register moves. The most recent event is the cancellation on June 5, 2020, and no further dates are listed. There are no recorded oppositions, cancellations, or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of using a similar name, be aware that the cancelled registration still protects the phrase for greeting cards, and the risk is higher if you operate in that same field.
