PAPERLAB

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERLAB” is no longer active; it was cancelled on January 5, 2024 because the owner, Seiko Epson Kabushiki Kaisha, did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on June 20, 2017, covering papermaking machines and apparatus, including machines with scanning or printing functions, and a range of paper goods such as shredders, recycled paper, printing paper, business forms, label paper, and semi‑finished business card paper. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those specific areas of papermaking equipment and paper products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPERLAB.” The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of publication, opposition, and registration, with no indication of a Supplemental Register. The latest status event is the cancellation in early 2024, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the goods and services listed still represent a potential area of concern.
