What this record means
The record shows that “PAPER MOON PAINTING” is a live, registered service mark owned by Paper Moon Painting, LLC, a Texas limited liability company. The mark protects the specific services of painting, interior and exterior, first used in commerce on January 1, 1990. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of interior or exterior painting services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “paper moon” or “painting” in unrelated contexts. The mark is on the Principal Register, so the prosecution history shows a standard examination and acceptance of a Section 8 declaration, with no indication of a supplemental registration sequence. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of the Section 8 declaration on April 23, 2022. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the new use falls within interior or exterior painting services.
