What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PETAL” is dead and was abandoned by the applicant, Vincent S. Green, an individual, because the owner failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on April 3, 2015 under an intent‑to‑use basis for services in class 044, specifically medical services such as providing medical marijuana to patients and providing medical information. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the word “PETAL” in any other context. The closest concern would be for businesses offering similar medical or beauty services that use the same name. The prosecution history shows a typical sequence of examination, a non‑final action, and eventual abandonment, with no opposition or cancellation events recorded. Since the supplied history shows no enforcement activity, there is no visible signal of the owner actively protecting the mark. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific medical services listed remain the most relevant area of concern.
