THE PAPER BOYSerial 87638014 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Heckman, Mary Anne
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Oct 09, 2017
Registered Dec 04, 2018
The record shows that “THE PAPER BOY” is a dead, cancelled service mark that was once registered on the Principal Register. The owner listed is Mary Anne Heckman, an individual. The mark covered the publication of newsletters under class 041, which is education and entertainment. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for publishing newsletters or related educational content. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the words “paper” or “boy” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed, registered, and later cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant failed to file a declaration of continued use. No oppositions, cancellations after publication, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you plan to use a similar name for newsletters or related services, you should be aware that the cancelled mark still indicates that the owner once claimed rights in that specific area.

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.
