TOADSerial 73284213 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Hawthorne Industries, Inc.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Nov 03, 1980
Registered Mar 08, 1983
The record shows that the “TOAD” mark, owned by Hawthorne Industries, Inc., was registered on the Principal Register in 1983 but was cancelled on July 31 1989 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. It covered only one class – Class 009 – specifically “Electrical Safety Control Circuit – namely, an Asymmetrical Detector for Triac and SCR Output,” with the first use dated April 23 1980. A later filing that uses the same word for anything outside that narrow electrical‑safety hardware would be farther from the scope shown here, and the record does not give Hawthorne control over every possible use of the word “TOAD.” The prosecution history shows the normal examination flow ending in registration, then the Section 8 cancellation; there are no opposition or cancellation proceedings listed, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same electrical‑circuit safety niche.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
