PAPERBACK PALSerial 75450654 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: H.A.L. Products
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Mar 16, 1998
Registered Dec 14, 1999
The record shows that “PAPERBACK PAL” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 2300789) owned by H.A.L. Products, a California corporation, and it is no longer live as of the status date Nov 5 2021 when the registration was cancelled for failure to file a Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only Class 016 “Paper Goods & Printed Matter” with the specific goods listed as “BOOK HOLDER,” so a similar name used on book‑holding products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “paperback” or “pal” in unrelated categories. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed, issued a Notice of Allowance, and went through the usual Section 8 and Section 9 filings before its eventual cancellation; it never appeared on the Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation notice on Nov 5 2021, and no opposition or other enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a book‑holder brand, but the risk drops sharply for goods outside that narrow class.
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.
