PAPERPAX

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “PAPERPAX” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead because the owner, MARCAL PAPER MILLS, INC., did not renew it. The registration covered the class 016 goods of shelf paper and paper place mats, with first use in 1947. A new business using a similar name in the same or closely related paper goods would face the closest record‑based concern because the goods are exactly the same. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPERPAX” in other industries or contexts. No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear in the supplied data, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. The last meaningful event was the status change to dead on May 26, 2007. For someone considering a similar name, the expired registration suggests a potential but not definitive risk in the paper goods market.
