DECLARATION OF LOVE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “DECLARATION OF LOVE” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, Flat Creek Mountain, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice mailed on December 15, 2008. The filing covered Class 031 goods such as cut, live, dried and preserved flowers, floral arrangements, flower bulbs, seeds, herbs for decorative wreaths and similar horticultural products; a later‑filed mark with the same wording would run into the closest record‑based concern if it were used for any of those floral or garden items. Because the registration was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the standard allowance and subsequent abandonment, not a supplemental‑register amendment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in December 2008, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “DECLARATION OF LOVE” for flowers or related garden products, but the record does not extend to unrelated goods or services.
