What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PAPERILLUSION” is no longer live; it was cancelled on February 4 2022 because the owner, J & L DESIGN, LTD., did not file a required declaration. The mark had been registered on July 31 2001 for the principal register, covering interior wall covering for creating faux‑impressions from non‑textile, lightweight two‑dimensional materials, and instructions distributed with those goods. A similar name used for products or services that involve faux‑impression wall coverings would raise the closest concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the record only reflects the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially registered, later renewed, and eventually cancelled after the owner failed to file the Section 8 declaration. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk of direct infringement on the exact goods, but the mark’s prior registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that narrow area.
