SCRIBNER PAPERBACK FICTION - official mark drawing from the USPTO record

What this record means

The record shows that “SCRIBNER PAPERBACK FICTION” is a cancelled Principal Register registration; the cancellation was entered on Nov 20 2004 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is Macmillan, Inc. The registration covered only class 016 – “paperback books featuring classical literature” – so a later use of the same wording on similar paperback literary titles would be the closest area of concern, while uses on unrelated products or services fall farther from the scope shown in the record. Because the mark is not on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2004, and the supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation, or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name for paperback literary books.
