PAPEL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark PAPEL is dead, having been abandoned on February 8, 2007 because the applicant did not respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Stanley Papel, an individual. The registration covered only class 016 “Paper Goods & Printed Matter,” specifically stationery items such as pens, pencils, pen and pencil holders, letter openers, crayons, modeling clay for children, book covers, bookmarks, rubber stamps, folders and paper gift bags, plus rulers for drawing, measuring and stenciling. A similar name used for any of those listed items would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow scope are farther from the recorded coverage. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in June 2006 followed by an abandonment notice in February 2007; no later maintenance or renewal events appear, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market comparable stationery products under a similar name.
