PAPYRAL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPYRAL” is no longer active; it was cancelled on August 22 2023 after the owner, Nabaltec AG, a German stock corporation, had previously registered it on the Principal Register on December 23 2014. The mark covered industrial colorants for paper, synthetic materials, rubber and varnishes, specifically colorants of mineral origin such as aluminum hydroxide mixtures. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same niche of industrial colorants for paper and related materials. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “PAPYRAL” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a refusal in March 2014 followed by a registration, and later a total invalidation in July 2022, but no enforcement actions are recorded. The last significant event was the cancellation notice mailed on March 10 2024. For someone thinking of a similar name, the cancellation means the mark no longer protects that specific wording in that class, but the historical registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that area.
