LILY PAD

What this record means

The record shows that “LILY PAD” was registered on the Principal Register to Chattanooga Manufacturing Company on Feb 12 1974 but was cancelled on Sep 9 1980 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead and not active. The filing does not list any specific goods or services, which means the visible concern is limited to whatever items the owner originally claimed when the registration was granted; without that detail, the closest area of concern would be any product or service the company might have used the name for at that time. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “LILY PAD,” and it does not appear on the Supplemental Register, so there is no indication of a descriptiveness refusal followed by an amendment. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation under Section 8 on Sep 9 1980, and no oppositions, extensions, or court actions are shown. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use “LILY PAD” for similar goods, because the historic registration still signals a past claim even though it is now cancelled.
