POSY-M

What this record means

The record shows that the mark POSY‑M is no longer live; it was cancelled on November 25 1997 because the registrant, JAGENBERG AG, a corporation organized in Germany, failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on May 21 1991 on the Principal Register for a single class of goods: a guide that attaches to processing machines to adjust the size of products cut from rolls of paper, cardboard, aluminum, and similar materials. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure rather than an opposition or abandonment, the mark’s scope remains limited to that specific machine‑part category. The record does not indicate any enforcement actions, so there is no visible history of the owner challenging use of the name. A new user looking to adopt a similar name would face the closest concern only if they were dealing with machine‑part guides for processing rolls of paper or related materials. The practical risk is that while the mark is cancelled, the owner still holds rights to that narrow product line, so using the same name in that exact context could still raise issues.
