THE PAPERSerial 77316130 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: NEW IMAGE GLOBAL, INC.
Class 034 -
Filed Oct 29, 2007
The record shows that the mark “THE PAPER” is dead and was abandoned after a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is NEW IMAGE GLOBAL, INC., a corporation organized in California. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 034, covering smoking articles such as tobacco, tobacco leaves, flavored tobacco leaves in sheet form, chewing tobacco, and tobacco pipes. Because the goods are specifically tobacco products, a similar name used for those same or closely related items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specified tobacco goods. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on December 4, 2009. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using it for tobacco products could be problematic, while use in unrelated areas is less directly flagged by this record.

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.
