TOPPER'S

What this record means

This record shows that the mark TOPPER'S was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead because it was not renewed. The owner listed is TOPPER'S RESTAURANT AND COCKTAIL LOUNGE, INC., a corporation organized in Illinois. The registration covered class 042, specifically dispensing or serving food and alcoholic and non‑alcoholic beverages—namely restaurant, cocktail lounge, and tavern services. Because the mark was used in commerce in August 1947, a similar name used in the same or closely related food and beverage services would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “TOPPER’S.” The prosecution history shows the mark was accepted under Section 8 and later expired under Section 9; no Supplemental Register activity is involved. The last status event was the expiration on November 4, 1992, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name in the restaurant or lounge business, this history suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the former owner’s mark.
