PAPERBACK SONGSSerial 78317089 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Hal Leonard Corporation
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Oct 22, 2003
Registered Apr 12, 2005
The record shows that “PAPERBACK SONGS” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status dead) owned by Hal Leonard Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation, and that the cancellation was entered on Nov 13 2015 because the registrant did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered Class 016 – “Music publications, namely song books, sheet music, and music instruction books; and music catalogs,” so a later use of the same or a confusingly similar name on any of those types of printed music material would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Hal Leonard control over every possible use of the words “paperback” or “songs” outside that specific category. Because the mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2015, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by others, or court actions, so no enforcement signals appear. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market song books or sheet‑music under a similar name.
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.
