What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PAPERBIRD” is currently pending on the Principal Register, owned by Wakefern Food Corp., a corporation organized in New Jersey. The application was filed on November 14, 2023, and the mark covers a range of paper goods and printed matter, including envelopes, adhesive tapes for stationery or household purposes, note paper, construction paper, stationery, copy paper, writing implements, paper index cards, file folders, and glue for stationery or household use. Because the goods listed are specific to paper products, a similar name used for those same or closely related items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording, especially for unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows that after publication for opposition on November 19, 2024, a Notice of Allowance was issued on December 31, 2024, and the applicant has requested and received three extensions of time to file a Statement of Use, with the latest extension granted on June 10, 2026. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and specific paper‑goods scope suggest a meaningful risk of conflict if the name is used for comparable products.
