PAPEL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark PAPEL was registered to PAPEL, INC., a California corporation, but the registration was cancelled on Nov 10, 2010 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. It covered only Class 021 items such as ceramic mugs, plates, saucers, decorative kitchen tiles, salt‑and‑pepper shakers, sugar dishes, creamers, cake plates and teapots. A new business using a similar name for those kinds of ceramic or kitchen‑related products would run into the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPEL.” No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear in the file, and the latest meaningful event is the 2010 cancellation. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market comparable ceramic kitchen goods under a similar name.
