What this record means
The record shows that PAPERGALA is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by PaperGala LLC, a Michigan limited liability company. It protects goods in class 028, specifically Christmas tree ornaments, toy boxes, novelty plush toys for parties, push toys, and stuffed and plush toys, first used in commerce on November 30 2016. A similar name used for those same types of toys or ornaments would raise the closest concern. The record does not give control over every use of the word “PAPERGALA”; it is limited to the goods listed. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration with no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register movement. The most recent event is a courtesy reminder email for the 6‑year maintenance filing on July 14 2025. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name in the toy or ornament space, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
