Owner: The Paper Machete Group Inc.
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed May 12, 2017
Registered Dec 05, 2017
The record shows that “THE PAPER MACHETE” is a live, registered service mark owned by The Paper Machete Group Inc., a non‑profit corporation organized in Illinois. The mark is on the Principal Register and covers entertainment services in the nature of live performances, specifically musical, variety, news and comedy shows, as well as providing podcasts in those same fields. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same entertainment and podcasting categories. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “paper” or “machete” outside those services. The most recent status event is the acceptance of Sections 8 and 15 declarations on May 9, 2024, confirming the mark’s continued registration. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in live entertainment or related podcasts could be viewed as infringing this active mark.

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.
