What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MPR’S PAPERBILITIES” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner listed is MPR ASSOCIATES, INC., a corporation organized in North Carolina. The mark was filed on February 12, 1996, with an intent‑to‑use basis, and was published for opposition on December 17, 1996. It was granted a Notice of Allowance on March 11, 1997, but the applicant never filed a Statement of Use or an extension request, leading to abandonment on September 12, 1997. The goods covered were paper of various sizes, shapes, textures, patterns, and designs for hobbies and handicrafts, class 016. Because the mark is dead, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context, but a similar name used for paper goods or related hobby supplies could raise the closest concern. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. If you’re thinking of a similar name for paper‑based hobby products, this abandoned record suggests a potential but not definitive risk.
