What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PAPERILLUSION” is dead and was abandoned because the applicant, J & L Design, Ltd., a limited liability company organized in Ohio, failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The mark was filed on June 22, 2000 and abandoned on September 24, 2001. It covered interior wall covering for creating faux‑impressions from non‑textile, lightweight two‑dimensional materials, and instructions distributed with those goods. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights in that specific class of goods. The record does not give control over every use of the wording, only over that particular type of wall covering. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. A similar name used for unrelated products would face a weaker concern, but the closest record‑based risk remains the abandoned wall‑covering mark.
