FLOWER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FLOWER” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, MAESA, INC., a corporation organized in New York, failed to respond to an Office action. The abandoned application covered cosmetics and cleaning goods such as adhesives for artificial nails, nail care kits, eyelash curlers, all‑purpose reusable carrying bags, and cosmetic brushes. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “flower.” The prosecution history indicates that the application was initially examined and a non‑final action was issued in October 2012, but the applicant did not respond, leading to abandonment in May 2013. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the cosmetics and cleaning sector; outside that area the risk is less direct, but the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable.
