PAPEL FILIPINO-AMERICAN MAGAZINE

What this record means

The record shows the application for “PAPEL FILIPINO‑AMERICAN MAGAZINE” is abandoned, with the last status dated Dec 12 2004 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Joel Cleto Cruz, an individual. The registration covered only class 016 – paper goods and printed matter – specifically “advertising publication and information of general interests,” so a later use of the same phrase for a magazine, newsletter or other printed media would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Cruz control over every use of the words “Papel Filipino‑American” or “Magazine” in unrelated categories such as clothing or food. No supplemental‑register activity appears, and the prosecution history ends with abandonment notices in December 2004, with no further maintenance filings or enforcement actions shown. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar printed‑publication title, because the abandoned filing still signals a prior claim in that niche.
