TOPSerial 98255687 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Clayton, Joshua
Class 045 - Legal & Personal Services
Filed Nov 05, 2023
The record shows that the mark “TOP” is dead; it was abandoned on July 27, 2026 because the applicant, Joshua Clayton, failed to respond to a final Office action. The mark was never registered and is not on the Supplemental Register. It covered legal and personal services in class 045, specifically consulting services in public safety and state and federal regulatory compliance for personnel safety, including workplace violence education, with first use in commerce on January 1, 2020. Because the mark is dead, it does not give the owner control over the word “TOP” in any context, but the record indicates that the owner once sought protection for that specific set of services. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using “TOP” for services that overlap public‑safety consulting; otherwise, the risk is lower, though the mark’s prior existence could still raise questions in that narrow field.

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.
