PAPEL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark PAPEL was registered on the Principal Register to Stanley Papel, an individual, but it was cancelled on May 31 2013 because the registrant failed to file a proper Section 8 declaration, so the registration is no longer live. The registration covered Class 020 goods – pillows; picture frames that are not precious‑metal or paper; resin plaques and cold‑cast figurines; non‑metallic, non‑leather key chains; and decorative household ornaments made of plastic – so a later use of “PAPEL” for similar decorative home items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word, only over the listed goods. The prosecution history shows a normal path to registration with no supplemental‑register amendment, and the most recent meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2013. No oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a mark on comparable decorative products.
