WORDERASERSerial 74079663 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Smith Corona Corporation
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Jul 19, 1990
Registered Apr 21, 1992
The record shows that WORDERASER is a cancelled registration – the Principal Register entry (Reg. No. 1683757) was cancelled on Oct 26 1998 because the owner, Smith Corona Corporation, failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the mark is now listed as “dead.” The registration covered only one class, Class 016 “Paper Goods & Printed Matter,” specifically “typewriter component for erasing spelling errors,” with a first use date of May 15 1984. Because the protection was limited to that narrow typewriter‑related component, a similar name used for unrelated products such as software, cleaning supplies, or office furniture would be farther from the scope shown in the record and would not automatically be blocked. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, registered on the Principal Register in 1992, and later cancelled for the Section 8 maintenance failure; there is no indication of oppositions, cancellations, or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a name for any typewriter‑related erasing tool, but the risk drops sharply for other 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.
