What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PAPERBIRD” is dead and was abandoned by Wakefern Food Corp., a corporation organized in New Jersey. The abandonment occurred because the owner failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued on September 10, 2019. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for the single class 004, which covers candles. Because the record only lists candles, a similar name used for candles or closely related goods would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, especially for unrelated goods or services. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on October 17, 2022. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk if the new use involves candles, but the overall risk is lower for unrelated goods.
