FLOR DE LA PAZ

What this record means

The record shows that “FLOR DE LA PAZ” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, Fundación Flor de La Paz, I.A.P., failed to file a required Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued, with the abandonment notice dated Dec 16 2019. The only goods listed are “Tea” in International Class 030, so a similar name used for tea or other staple foods would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Flor de la Paz.” The prosecution history shows the applicant received a Notice of Allowance in May 2018, filed two extensions for the Statement of Use, and ultimately abandoned the mark when no use was shown. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market tea under a similar name, but the risk is limited to that specific product class.
