What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PAPERLAB” was once registered on the Principal Register but has since been cancelled. The owner listed is ROBOTEST CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation. The mark covered electronic paper testing apparatus used to measure paper strength, caliper, tear resistance, brightness, opacity, basis weight, and moisture content. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of scientific or electrical testing equipment for paper. The cancellation was due to the registrant failing to file a Section 8 declaration, so the mark no longer confers any legal protection. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the cancellation means the owner no longer has exclusive rights to that wording in the specified goods. The latest status event was the cancellation on November 28, 1994, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the mark is no longer active, but the historical registration still signals that the wording was once protected for paper‑testing equipment.
