PAPEL DESIGNSSerial 78197157 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Papel, Stanley
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Dec 22, 2002
Registered Apr 27, 2004
The record shows that “PAPEL DESIGNS” was registered on the Principal Register to Stanley Papel but was cancelled on Dec 3 2010 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. It covered only Class 025 clothing – specifically ready‑to‑wear items such as socks, boxer shorts and t‑shirts – and the disclaimer limits protection to the word “DESIGNS” when paired with “PAPEL.” Because the registration was limited to those apparel goods, a similar name used for unrelated products would present a much farther concern, while another clothing line using the same wording could run into the closest record‑based issue. The prosecution history shows a normal examination, publication for opposition in Feb 2004 and registration in Apr 2004, followed by the later Section 8 cancellation; there is no indication of oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market apparel under a comparable name, but the dead status means the record does not block every possible use of the words.
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.
