LALA & PAPEL FOR THE ART OF WRITING

What this record means

The record shows that the application for LALA & PAPEL FOR THE ART OF WRITING was abandoned on Aug 20, 2012 because the applicant did not respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Claudia E. Duncan, an individual; the mark never entered the register. The only goods covered are “paper notebooks; spiral‑bound notebooks; wire‑bound notebooks” in International Class 016, so a similar name used for any type of notebook or other paper‑based stationery would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over uses of the words in unrelated categories such as apparel, software, or services. Because the filing was on the Principal Register and was never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on Aug 20, 2012, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market notebooks under a comparable name.
