TOADSerial 75197700 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: BNA Communications, Inc.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Nov 12, 1996
Registered Jan 06, 1998
The record shows the mark TOAD is cancelled, having been removed from the Principal Register on Oct 9 2004 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is BNA Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The registration covered only one class—Class 009 for “CD‑ROMs featuring interactive training programs in the field of safety issues and human‑resource issues,” with first use dated Apr 5 1996. A similar name used on comparable training‑software products would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall outside the specific scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “TOAD.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2004; no further dates are listed. The history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 action, or other enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a name for similar safety‑training software.
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.
