What this record means
The record shows that “PAPER MOON GRAPHICS” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Fred M. Zax, an individual organized in California. The mark covers paper goods and printed matter, specifically paper products such as greeting cards, stationery, note pads, invitations and postcards, and the owner first used the mark in commerce in July 1977. Because the goods listed are paper‑based items, a similar name used for those same kinds of products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The registration does not give control over every use of the words “paper moon graphics” in other contexts. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration, and the latest maintenance event was a renewal noted on October 23, 2015. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use involves paper goods or printed matter.
