SAPO DE PAPEL

What this record means

The record shows that “SAPO DE PAPEL” is an abandoned application, filed by Brazos International, Inc. on March 3 2005 and listed as dead after the USPTO mailed an abandonment notice on November 22 2006 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance was issued on March 21 2006. The only goods covered are “fly and insect traps in the nature of glue strips based on latex” in International Class 021, so a similar name used for anything outside that narrow category—such as paper products, software, or services—would be far removed from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Sapo” or “Papel.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from a final refusal to an allowance and then to abandonment for lack of use. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in November 2006, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern only if you plan to market glue‑based insect traps under a similar name.
