PAPERGARDEN

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERGARDEN” was registered on the Principal Register on June 23, 2015, but was cancelled on December 24, 2021 because the registrant, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The goods covered were mobile‑application software for phones, smart phones, and tablets that allows users to purchase, subscribe, download, play, and listen to digital reading contents such as e‑books, e‑newspapers, and e‑magazines, as well as software for managing and organizing those contents. A similar name used in the same or closely related software services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially refused for descriptiveness, then amended and approved for publication, and finally registered before cancellation. No oppositions or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk, but the specific software services listed remain a potential point of concern.
