PAPERAW

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PAPERAW” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Wengu Li, an individual. The registration covers a narrow set of metal hardware goods such as brackets, hinges, knobs, locks, and other metal fittings for furniture and doors, first used in commerce on November 24, 2022. A similar name used for products or services in those exact metal hardware categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give control over every use of the word “PAPERAW” outside those specific goods. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path: the application was filed on November 29, 2022, published for opposition on October 24, 2023, and registered on January 9, 2024, with no opposition or cancellation events recorded. The latest meaningful event is the registration date, and no enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is most pronounced if the new use involves metal hardware; otherwise the concern is farther from the scope shown.
