The record shows that “PAPERBACK” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Paperback GmbH & Co. KG; the cancellation was entered on September 8 2007 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the registration is no longer in force. The registration covered Class 016 paper‑goods and printed matter (including cardboard collection boxes, office supplies and various inks) and Classes 037, 039, 040 and 042 for recycling‑related services such as waste‑paper collection, container rental, shredding of printed matter and sorting of waste material. A similar name used in any of those recycling or paper‑goods contexts would raise the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “paperback.” The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was allowed and registered, then later cancelled; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a brand in the recycling or paper‑goods space.

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.

Your name deserves a straight answer.
