PETAL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PETAL” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Vincent S. Green, an individual, and the mark was filed on April 3, 2015 under an intent‑to‑use basis for services in class 042. The specific services listed are computer services, namely providing online non‑downloadable web‑based software for patient documentation, inventory control, and inventory management for use among medical marijuana centers, dispensaries, collectives, and patients. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PETAL.” The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence with a non‑final action and eventual abandonment, but no opposition or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on March 4, 2016. If you are thinking of using a similar name for services in a different field, the closest concern would be in the same software‑related medical marijuana niche; otherwise the risk is lower but not eliminated.
