M DE IN THE MITTEN

What this record means

The record shows that “M DE IN THE MITTEN” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on Oct 8 2013 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Bloem, LLC, a Michigan limited‑liability company. The only goods covered are “Planters for flowers and plants” in International Class 021, so a later use of the same wording for gardening containers or similar horticultural items would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the filing never reached registration, the record does not give Bloem, LLC control over every possible use of the phrase. The prosecution history notes a non‑final action mailed on Mar 12 2013 and the abandonment notice on Oct 8 2013, with no later maintenance or enforcement activity recorded. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market plant‑related products under a similar name.
