PATRIOT PAPER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PATRIOT PAPER” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is PAPER LYNC INC., a corporation organized in Illinois. The mark was filed on January 8, 2024 under an intent‑to‑use basis for class 016, covering paper goods and printed matter. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the mark specifically protects the word “Paper” in that context. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Patriot” or “Paper” in other industries. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of a non‑final action, followed by an abandonment notice and final abandonment. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandonment suggests a lower risk, but the specific goods in class 016 remain a potential point of concern.
