PAPERCEL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERCEL” is no longer active; it was cancelled on February 28, 2010 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Papercel – Vendas e Gestao Comercial, S.A., a joint‑stock company organized in Portugal. The mark covered the goods “unprocessed cellulose pulp, cellulose sheets, cellulose paper and paper pulp for use in manufacturing.” A similar name used in the same or closely related paper‑pulp manufacturing field would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation means the USPTO no longer protects that wording, but it does not automatically free the name for all uses; other rights could still exist. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration on the Principal Register with no supplemental‑register sequence. No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of a similar name in paper‑pulp manufacturing, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
