THE PAPER TUBE CO.

What this record means

The record shows that “THE PAPER TUBE CO.” is a dead mark that was abandoned on October 11, 2022 because the owner, Paper Tube, LLC, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on November 25, 2020 and was held on the Supplemental Register. The goods listed are paper packaging in the nature of paper tubes, paper packaging containers, and custom paper tubes, first used in commerce on October 15, 2015. Because the mark is on the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history shows a series of non‑final actions and a refusal that led to the abandonment; the Supplemental Register status does not confer the same protection as a Principal Register registration. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For a business that wants to use a similar name for paper tube packaging, the closest concern would be in the same narrow category of paper packaging, but the record does not indicate control over all uses of the wording.
