PAPEL

What this record means

The record shows that the PAPEL application filed by Main Choice Paper Products Limited is no longer active – it was abandoned on June 5 2020 after the applicant failed to answer a non‑final Office action, and the USPTO marked the case as “dead” and “refused.” The only goods listed are “lacquers for coating papers” in International Class 002, so a later user of the word PAPEL would run into the closest record‑based concern if the product involved paper‑coating lacquers or a very similar chemical finish. The record does not give the owner any blanket control over every use of the word PAPEL in other industries. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on June 5 2020, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market a paper‑coating lacquer under a similar name.
