BLOOMERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BLOOMERS” is no longer live; it was cancelled on September 21 2012 because the registrant, Bloomers, Inc., did not file an acceptable declaration under Section 8. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 2006 for the goods “Retail florist shop” under class 035, advertising and business services. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses that sell or advertise flowers or related retail services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Bloomers,” only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was examined, approved, and published for opposition before registration, with no supplemental register steps. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the earlier registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in the florist retail space.
