PAPEROA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPEROA” is no longer active; it was cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant failed to file a declaration. The owner listed is KABUSHIKI KAISHA KOMATSU SEISAKUSHO, a corporation organized in Japan, and the mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1996 under foreign registration basis §44(e). The goods covered are laser‑based engraving and marking machines for metal and plastic surfaces, laser beam scanners, electric controls for such machines, and related structural parts. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for products or services that involve laser marking equipment or related components. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPEROA.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation on March 29, 2003. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific laser‑marking goods remain a potential point of concern.
