FLOR DE PIÑA

What this record means

The record shows that “FLOR DE PIÑA” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated March 6 2018, and no later activity appears. The owner listed is DISTRIBUIDORA DE ALIMENTOS NATURALES Y NUTRICIONALES, S.A. DE C.V., a Mexican corporation that filed the intent‑to‑use application on February 1 2017. The only goods covered are in International Class 030 for staple foods, specifically candies, candy bars, caramel candy, lollipops, Mexican candy, chocolate candies, gummy candies and sugar‑less candies. A similar name used for any of those confectionery products would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the filing never resulted in a registration, the record does not give the owner control over the wording in general. The prosecution history shows a non‑final Office action in August 2017 and a response in June 2017, but the final abandonment ended the process. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market candy or similar sweets under a comparable name.
