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, because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 024, covering dining linens, kitchen linens, bath linens, and household linens. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of home or kitchen textiles, as that is the exact scope listed. This record does not give Wakefern control over every use of the word “PAPERBIRD”; it only covers the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of extension requests after the Notice of Allowance, with no indication of a Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event was the abandonment notice on May 10, 2021. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. If you plan to use a similar name in the linens or household goods area, you should be aware that the abandoned mark still signals that Wakefern once claimed rights in that specific category.
