PAPERBIRD

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERBIRD” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 88388383, owned by Wakefern Food Corp., a corporation organized in New Jersey. The registration was issued on May 24 2022 and covers reusable shopping bags (class 018). A similar name used for reusable bags or related products would raise the closest record‑based concern because the goods listed are exactly those covered by the mark. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “paperbird” in all contexts; it is limited to the specific goods described. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move, so the mark was accepted as is. The latest maintenance event is the registration itself; no further dates are supplied. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, principal registration for reusable bags suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the new use is in the same or closely related category.
