PAPERGATESerial 73728065 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: OVONIC IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed May 12, 1988
The record shows that the mark “PAPERGATE” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, OVONIC IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on May 12 1988 and abandoned on March 1 1989. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 009, covering electrical and scientific apparatus, specifically computer interface cards that speed up digitizing and printing of documents. A similar name used for products or services in that same class—computer interface cards or related printing equipment—would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPERGATE.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on March 1 1989. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods in class 009 still present a potential concern if used in that field.

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.
