PAPERBACK

What this record means

The record shows that “PAPERBACK” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status “dead”) owned by Brand Design Company, Inc., and it is no longer in force. The registration covered only one class – class 009 – specifically “type face fonts recorded on magnetic and optical media,” so a later use of the same word in that exact niche would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner any blanket control over every use of the word “paperback” in other industries or contexts. The most recent meaningful event is the cancellation on Jan 03 2025 for failure to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market font‑related products under a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
