What this record means
The record shows that “THE PAPER” is a pending application on the Principal Register owned by Universal Television LLC, a limited liability company organized in New York. The mark covers a broad range of clothing goods, including shirts, dresses, pants, swimwear, and hats, among others. Because the goods listed are specific to apparel, a similar name used for clothing or related apparel would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it applies only to the goods listed. The prosecution history indicates that the applicant has requested and received an extension to file a Statement of Use, with the latest event being the approval of that extension on May 28, 2026. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. If you’re thinking of a similar name for clothing, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
