PETALS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PETALS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Bland Farms, LLC, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on February 10, 2012 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was assigned to class 029, covering frozen onion pieces and snack foods such as Vidalia sweet onion scoops. Because the mark is no longer live, it does not grant any control over the word “PETALS” in other contexts, but the specific goods listed create the closest area of concern for anyone using the name for similar frozen onion products. The prosecution history shows only the initial filing and the abandonment notice; no opposition, cancellation, or court action appears, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on December 19, 2012. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a modest risk if the new use involves frozen onion snacks, but the mark’s dead status means the risk is lower than for an active registration.
