What this record means
The record shows that the mark “THE PAPER” is no longer active; it was abandoned on June 29 1992 because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Multimedia Publishing of SC, Inc., a South Carolina corporation. The mark was held for the specific good of a weekly newspaper serving Spartanburg County, SC, under class 016. A similar name used for a newspaper or related printed matter in that geographic area would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The abandonment means the owner has no enforceable rights over the wording, but the record does not preclude other claims elsewhere. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a modest risk if the new use is in the same newspaper market, but less concern for unrelated products.
