LILY PAD

What this record means

The record shows that “LILY PAD” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant, Vanity Fair, Inc., failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment dated Dec 31 2006. The filing was for clothing, specifically lingerie, sleepwear and hosiery, in International Class 025, so the closest area of concern would be any new mark used on similar apparel. The record does not give Vanity Fair, Inc. control over every use of the words “lily pad” in other product categories or contexts. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never reached registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event in the file is the abandonment notice mailed on Jan 3 2007, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name for clothing, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods.
