PETAL

What this record means

The record shows that “PETAL” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by Nunhems B.V., a Dutch company. It protects goods such as preserved, dried, cooked and frozen vegetables and fruits, jellies, jams and compotes (class 029), and also covers seedlings, seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables, and living lettuce and cabbage plants and related propagation materials (class 031). In addition, the mark covers medical and beauty services that advise on the cultivation of propagation material, lettuce and cabbage plant breeding and selection (class 044). A similar name would raise the closest concern in these specific food, seed, plant, and agricultural consultancy areas. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PETAL.” The prosecution history shows a final refusal in July 2019, followed by a registration on May 19 2020, indicating the mark was ultimately accepted. The most recent event is a 2025 courtesy reminder for a 6‑year post‑registration maintenance. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in the listed food, seed, plant, or agricultural services could be viewed as infringing.
