LOVE BUDS

What this record means

The record shows that “LOVE BUDS” was registered on the Principal Register to W. J. Griffin, Inc. but the registration was cancelled on June 28 2013 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The only goods listed are live flowers, live flower arrangements, cut flowers and topiaries in International Class 031, meaning a similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses dealing with actual floral products. The record does not give the owner any blanket control over the words “love buds” in unrelated fields such as apparel or food. No prosecution history is present, and the filing, publication, allowance and registration dates are all completed. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 lapse, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “Love Buds” for any kind of flower‑related goods.
