What this record means
The record shows that the mark “THE ART & SOUL OF SPRING” is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is John Scheepers, Inc., a corporation organized in Connecticut. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 031, covering flower bulbs and corms, with first use on March 1, 2015. A similar name used for the sale or cultivation of flower bulbs or corms would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The abandonment event on November 29, 2016 is the latest status change; no further maintenance or renewal dates are supplied. The prosecution history shows a final refusal and subsequent abandonment, with no opposition, cancellation, or court action recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces immediate risk, but the specific class of flower bulbs and corms remains a potential area of concern.
