PETAL PARADE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PETAL PARADE” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Mattel, Inc., did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 028, covering doll clothing and doll accessories. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses dealing in doll apparel or related accessories, as that is the exact scope listed. The record does not give Mattel control over every use of the words “Petal Parade” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the usual sequence of publication, opposition, and allowance, with no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest event is the abandonment on March 18, 2004, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk is potential confusion in the doll clothing market, but the mark’s abandonment limits the scope of any claim.
