What this record means
The record shows a live Principal Register registration for “COLOR CHOICE FLOWERING SHRUBS,” owned by Spring Meadow Nursery, Inc., a Michigan corporation, and the registration is currently active. It covers “Live plants” in International Class 031, with a first use date of March 31 2008, so a similar name used for horticultural products—especially live shrubs or other plants—would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “color,” “choice,” or “flowering shrubs” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the application was examined, amended, and then approved for registration on the Principal Register, with no supplemental‑register steps involved. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of the combined Section 8 (six‑year renewal) and Section 15 (declaration of use) on January 2 2025. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market live plants under a comparable name.
