What this record means
The record shows that NITESCRIBER is an abandoned application, filed by Samuel H. Lane Sr. as an individual, and it is not a live registration. The only listed goods are “illuminated dispenser units for writing paper” in International Class 016, so a similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern for products that dispense or illuminate paper rather than for unrelated categories. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NITESCRIBER” in any other context. The prosecution history shows the application moved through the standard examination steps, received a Notice of Allowance in December 1992, and then required a Statement of Use, which was never filed, leading to an abandonment on December 23 1995—the latest meaningful status event. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market illuminated paper dispensers under a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
