PAPER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPER” is dead on the Principal Register, having been abandoned because the owner, PAPER COSMETICS, INC., failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark covered cosmetics and cleaning goods, specifically beauty care cosmetic preparations, makeup preparations for the face and body, cosmetics in general, and related items, expressly excluding cosmetic paper or paper‑infused cosmetics. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPER.” The prosecution history indicates a straightforward allowance and subsequent abandonment, with no opposition, cancellation, or court action recorded. The latest status event was the abandonment notice on February 22, 2021. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the cosmetics and beauty care sector; in unrelated industries the risk is farther from the scope shown by this record.
