FTF FLOWERING TREES

What this record means

The record shows that “FTF FLOWERING TREES” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on Oct 22 2013 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Jiangyin Zhengbei Garments Co., Ltd., a corporation organized in China. The filing covered only Class 025 clothing, specifically gloves, hats, hosiery, leather belts, men’s suits, children’s one‑piece garments, scarves, shoes, underclothing and women’s shirts, dresses, skirts and blouses, with a first use date of Dec 1 2012. Because the protection was limited to those apparel items, a similar name used for unrelated goods such as food, software or services would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “FTF” or “FLOWERING TREES.” The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on Oct 22 2013; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market clothing under a comparable name, since the abandoned filing still signals a prior claim in that product area.
