THE PAPERSerial 97554127 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: VanNoppen, Allen
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Aug 18, 2022
The record shows that the mark “THE PAPER” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Allen VanNoppen of VanNoppen, Allen LLC organized in North Carolina, failed to respond to an Office action. The application was filed on August 18, 2022 and the abandonment was recorded on September 28, 2023. The mark was sought on the Principal Register for goods in class 016, specifically printed matter such as paper signs, books, manuals, curricula, newsletters, informational cards and brochures. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the record indicates that a similar name could raise concern for those same printed‑matter goods. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The latest event is the abandonment notice on September 28, 2023. For someone considering a similar name, the closest record‑based concern lies in the printed‑matter goods of class 016, and the abandoned status means the owner’s claim is no longer enforceable.

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.
