ADVANCE PAPERBAG

What this record means

The record shows that “ADVANCE PAPERBAG” is a pending service mark owned by API Group Holding, Inc., a Texas corporation, and is currently under examination on the Principal Register. The mark covers the manufacture of retail grocery checkout bags to the order and specification of others, class 040. A similar name used for the same or closely related goods—such as grocery or retail bags—would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specified goods. The prosecution history indicates that the applicant filed a Statement of Use, received an extension, and the Office approved the extension, with the latest event being the grant of the extension on March 6, 2026. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the goods overlap with grocery checkout bags.
