PAPERAW

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERAW” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Foshan Nanhai Yawei Stationery Co., Ltd., did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after receiving a Notice of Allowance. The mark was filed on February 8, 2021 and published for opposition on October 5, 2021. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 035, covering services such as accounting services, advertising services, online advertising, and provision of an online marketplace for buyers and sellers of goods and services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the realm of advertising, marketing, or online marketplace services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PAPERAW.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on July 4, 2022. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk of infringement, but the specific services listed still present a potential concern if used in a related field.
