PETALO

What this record means

The record shows that PETALO was a Principal Register trademark owned by Royal Paper Converting, Inc., but its registration was cancelled on May 9 2014 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is no longer live. The registration covered only class 016 – paper products such as bathroom tissue, facial tissue, paper napkins and paper towels – and the record’s concern is limited to those specific paper‑goods categories. Because the cancellation removes any active claim, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word PETALO in other industries or for unrelated products. The latest meaningful event in the file is the May 9 2014 cancellation; no opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use PETALO for paper‑related items, but the risk is far lower for dissimilar goods.
