What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PEONY” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Shanghai Peony Printing Ink CO., LTD., a corporation organized in China. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 002 goods, specifically printing composites, printing inks, and gum resins. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the mark protects those specific ink and composite products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PEONY” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a refusal in September 2023, followed by abandonment notices in March 2024, and the final disposition in April 2025. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active registration, but the prior refusal and the specific goods covered still suggest a potential risk if the name is used in the same ink or composite market.
