What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PAPER MOON” was registered on the Principal Register on October 27, 1998, but the registration was cancelled on July 30, 2005 because the owner, House of Perfection, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered clothing such as dresses, shorts, pants, bottoms, pant sets, short sets, blouses, shirts, and tops for sizes infant/toddler through size 18. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the apparel sector, especially for items listed in that description. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the July 30, 2005 cancellation. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a notable risk in the clothing market, though the mark is no longer active.
