PAPERBACK NOVEL

What this record means

The record shows that “PAPERBACK NOVEL” is an abandoned application (status dead) that was filed by THE WINE GROUP LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company, and it never moved beyond the Principal Register because the applicant never filed a required Statement of Use; the USPTO issued an abandonment notice on May 8 2023 after a series of extensions of time to submit that statement. The only goods listed are “Alcoholic beverages except beers; Wine” in International Class 033, so a similar name used for anything in the wine or broader alcoholic‑beverage market would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “paperback novel.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand alcoholic beverages with a similar name.
