PAPERPILE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERPILE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on December 13, 2024 because the registrant, PAPERPILE LLC, failed to file a required declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in June 2014 for services in class 042, specifically software‑as‑a‑service that provides database software for collecting, managing and citing research documents. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in that same software‑as‑a‑service field, especially for research‑document management tools. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “paperpile” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark was registered, then cancelled after the 10‑year Section 8 renewal was not filed. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone thinking of a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark no longer protects that specific software‑as‑a‑service use, but the earlier registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that narrow field.
