PAPERBAX ...BECAUSE YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PUT A GOOD BOOK DOWN!

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERBAX …BECAUSE YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PUT A GOOD BOOK DOWN!” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Burnett‑Evans Holdings, Inc., a corporation organized in Canada, and the mark was filed on March 23, 2006 on the Principal Register under class 016 for paper goods and printed matter, specifically book holders. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the closest area of concern would be other book‑holding or paper‑goods products that use a similar name. The prosecution history shows a typical sequence of a non‑final action and an abandonment notice, with no evidence of enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on April 17, 2007. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still represent a potential point of concern.
