EXPO PAPEL

What this record means

The record shows that “EXPO PAPEL” is a cancelled Supplemental Register service mark owned by Krause International, Inc., a Maryland corporation; the registration was cancelled on Jan 4 2003 because the owner failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was limited to class 035 services describing the organization and conduct of international exhibitions and conferences for pulp, paper and related machinery, equipment and supplies. A similar name used in the same exhibition‑or‑conference context for paper‑industry products would be the closest area of concern, while uses outside that niche are not covered by this record. The prosecution history indicates the application was initially refused, then amended and approved for Supplemental Register registration on Apr 2 1996, and later cancelled for non‑maintenance. No opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement action appears in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable exhibition‑service brand in the paper industry, but it does not extend to unrelated goods or services.
