PALEGAL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PALEGAL” was once registered on the Principal Register but has since been cancelled. The owner listed is BASF AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, a corporation organized in Germany. The cancellation occurred on February 20, 1995 because the registrant failed to file a declaration under Section 8. The only goods listed are chemical auxiliaries for use in the dyeing industry, first used in commerce in July 1979. Because the mark was cancelled, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PALEGAL.” The prosecution history shows a straightforward sequence: the application was approved for publication, published for opposition, registered, and then cancelled. No opposition, extension, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name in the same or a related chemical field, this cancelled record suggests a potential concern, but the lack of enforcement means the risk is less clear.
