FLOWER GROOVE

What this record means

The record shows that “FLOWER GROOVE” is an abandoned application, marked dead after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated August 6 2014; the owner listed is Flower Orthopedics Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation. The filing covered only Class 010 orthopedic implants—specifically plates—first used on September 4 2013, so a similar name would raise the closest concern for products in the medical‑device field, especially surgical hardware. The record does not give the owner any control over other goods, services, or unrelated industries, and it does not extend to general use of the words “flower” or “groove.” Because the mark never reached registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on August 6 2014, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market orthopedic plates under a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated products.
