What this record means
The record shows that PAPERSALES is an abandoned application, filed on Feb 2 2000 by John M. Quinlan as an individual, and it was officially abandoned on Mar 26 2001 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods and services listed are “Providing advertising, trading and brokerage services in the field of pulp, paper and packaging via data communication networks” under International Class 042, so a similar name would raise the closest concern if you are offering any online advertising, brokerage or trading services tied to paper, pulp or packaging. The record does not give the owner any control over unrelated uses of the word “papersales” in other industries. Because the application never reached registration, there is no Supplemental Register entry or related examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Mar 26 2001, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if your business operates in the same online paper‑related services, but the risk is far lower for unrelated fields.
