PAPERBACK BOOKSMITHSerial 81010435 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Learning Resources, Inc.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed
Registered May 13, 1975
The record shows that “PAPERBACK BOOKSMITH” is a cancelled Principal Register registration owned by Learning Resources, Inc., with the cancellation dated October 6 1981 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration; there is no later filing to revive it. The only listed class is 016 – Paper Goods & Printed Matter – but the goods description is blank, so the registration covered paper‑based products such as books, pamphlets or other printed materials. A similar name used for anything in that paper‑goods category would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields (for example, software or clothing) would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “paperback” or “bookssmith” in any context. No opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement action appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market paper‑based items under a similar name, because the cancelled registration still signals that the USPTO once linked the phrase to paper goods.
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.
