PAPERLAB

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERLAB” was registered on the Principal Register on May 24 1988 but was cancelled on November 28 1994 because the registrant, ROBOTEST CORPORATION, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The cancelled registration covered electronic paper‑testing apparatus used to measure strength, caliper, tear resistance, brightness, opacity, basis weight, and moisture content of paper. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of paper‑testing equipment or related scientific apparatus. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPERLAB”; it is limited to the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a normal examination sequence with publication and opposition, followed by registration and later cancellation. No opposition, extension, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the goods listed still present a meaningful concern if the new use is in the same technical field.
