PALEGALSerial 73244295 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: BASF Aktiengesellschaft
Class 001 -
Filed Dec 27, 1979
Registered Aug 18, 1981
The record shows that the mark “PALEGAL” is no longer live; it was registered on August 18, 1981, in the Principal Register and expired on July 20, 2002, after the owner BASF Aktiengesellschaft failed to renew it. The mark covered chemical auxiliaries for use in the dyeing industry, specifically goods listed under class 001. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same chemical or dyeing‑related field, because that is the only area the record shows protection for. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PALEGAL” in other industries. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history beyond the expiration. The last meaningful event was the cancellation under Section 8 and the expiration under Section 9 in 2002. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is limited to that specific chemical dyeing context; outside that, the record offers no clear claim.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
