GROOVESerial 73800748 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: SMART PAPERS HOLDINGS LLC
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed May 17, 1989
Registered Jan 15, 1991
The record shows that the “GROOVE” mark is cancelled, with the last status change on Oct 22 2021 when the registration was cancelled because the owner, SMART PAPERS HOLDINGS LLC, did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration; the mark was never moved to the Supplemental Register. It was registered on the Principal Register for Class 016, covering “printing paper, writing paper and copy paper,” so a similar name used on paper‑related goods would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “groove,” especially outside those paper products. No opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement activity appears in the history. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand paper or printed‑matter products with a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
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.
