PAPEL PAPER

What this record means

The record shows that the application for “PAPEL PAPER” was abandoned on March 25 2023 after the applicant, Nehemiah Johnson (a Tennessee corporation), failed to answer an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The only goods listed are “paper plates” in International Class 021, with a first use date of September 23 2021 and a use‑in‑commerce date of October 28 2021; a similar name used for paper‑plate products would be the closest area of concern. Because the filing was on the Principal Register and never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over the words in other contexts or product categories. The prosecution history notes a non‑final action in August 2022 and the abandonment notices in March 2023, which are the latest status events, and no opposition or cancellation actions appear. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market paper plates under a comparable name.
