FLORES CLOTHING CO.

What this record means

The record shows that “FLORES CLOTHING CO.” is an abandoned application, filed by Michael A. Medina on April 1 2014, and it never moved beyond the Principal Register because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance; the abandonment notice was mailed and the mark was officially abandoned on May 11 2015. The only goods listed are clothing items such as baseball caps, crew‑neck sweaters, hooded pullovers, sweat shirts, t‑shirts, skull caps, sweat pants, sweat suits and sweaters, all in International Class 025. A later‑filed name that is similar would run into the closest concern if it is used for comparable apparel, since the record’s protection is limited to those specific clothing articles. The record does not give the owner any control over the words “Flores” or “Clothing Co.” in unrelated industries. No opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the history, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable clothing brand name, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO has examined the mark for that exact line of goods.
