PAPERDIRECT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERDIRECT” is no longer active; it was cancelled on January 15 2016 because the owner, CURRENT USA, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in 1990 and covered paper goods such as bond paper, copier paper, laser paper, facsimile paper, and typewriter paper, as well as mail‑order paper supply services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same categories of paper products and paper‑related services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “paperdirect” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path from application to registration, with no Supplemental Register involvement. The last significant event was the cancellation in 2016; no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the goods and services listed still represent a focused area of concern.
