What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PEONY” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Lee Winston, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on October 24, 2012 and the abandonment notice was mailed on September 28, 2015. The goods listed are electrical and scientific apparatus such as cases for mobile phones, cell phone battery chargers, and wireless cellular phone headsets. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of mobile‑phone accessories. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PEONY”; it only covers the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a series of non‑final actions and a suspension, but no move to the Supplemental Register. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use is in the same field.
