ALPHABET

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “ALPHABET” is no longer active; it was registered on July 26 1977 for the owner LEEDALL PRODUCTS, INC., a corporation organized in New York, and it expired on May 02 2008 because the owner did not renew it. The only goods listed are paper for use in duplicating machines, a very narrow category. A new user of the name “ALPHABET” would face the closest concern only if the goods or services are in that same paper‑related field; for unrelated products the record offers little direct relevance. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the prosecution history shows a standard renewal sequence and no special examination steps. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone thinking of a similar name, the risk is limited to that specific paper‑goods area, and the mark’s expiration means the owner no longer holds active rights.
