PAPERGRIPPER
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark PAPERGRIPPER was registered on the Principal Register in 1994 but was cancelled in 2001 because the registrant, PAPERDIRECT, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered office supplies in the nature of a hand‑held device for attaching sheets of paper, specifically in class 016. A similar name used for a comparable paper‑handling device would raise the closest concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the mark remains a cancelled registration and no longer carries enforceable rights. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of a similar name for a paper‑attaching device, this history suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the cancelled mark.
