POSY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “POSY” is no longer live; it was registered on June 30, 1970, in the Principal Register under class 016 for disposable paper products such as towels, napkins, toilet paper, facial tissue, wipers, tablecovers, and tray covers, and it expired on November 4, 1992, because the owner, Fort Howard Paper Company, did not renew it. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the owner once had exclusive rights to use the name on those specific goods. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “POSY” in other contexts or industries. The prosecution history shows only the expiration event; no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear. For someone looking to use a similar name on paper or related products, the closest concern is the expired registration in class 016, but the lack of current registration means the mark no longer protects that wording.
