THE PAPER TUBE CO.

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “THE PAPER TUBE CO.” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Paper Tube, LLC, a limited liability company organized in Illinois. The mark was filed on November 25, 2020 for services in class 035, specifically “On‑line wholesale and retail store services featuring eco‑friendly packaging materials in the nature of paper tubes, custom tubes, and containers.” A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class and for those specific services, especially online retail of paper‑tube packaging. The mark was never registered on the Principal Register; it was only on the Supplemental Register, which the prosecution history shows was the result of a refusal for descriptiveness followed by an amendment to the Supplemental Register. The last status event was the abandonment notice on October 11, 2022. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned Supplemental Register record suggests a potential but not definitive risk in the same goods and services.
