PAPERBIRD

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 class 006 goods, specifically aluminum foil. Because the mark was only held for aluminum foil, the closest area of concern for a new name would be the sale or distribution of aluminum foil or related packaging products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPERBIRD” in other industries. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on October 17, 2022. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to the aluminum‑foil market, but the mark’s dead status means it no longer offers protection.
