AVANT GARDEN THE FINE ART OF URBAN GARDEN DESIGN.

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “AVANT GARDEN THE FINE ART OF URBAN GARDEN DESIGN” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Laura L. Osborne, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed as a service mark on the Principal Register for class 044, covering garden care services, garden or flower bed care, and gardener and gardening services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the goods and services are directly related to gardening and garden maintenance. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “garden” or “urban garden design” in other contexts. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on August 17, 2007. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that wording, but the specific gardening services listed still represent a potential area of concern.
