TOP IT
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark “TOP IT” is no longer active; it was cancelled on September 28 2002 because the registrant, HBD, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was originally registered on December 22 1981 in the Principal Register for class 020, covering “Hamper Stand Covers.” A similar name would raise the closest concern in that specific product category, but the record does not give the owner control over all uses of the wording. The prosecution history indicates the mark was accepted and registered under Section 8 and later cancelled; no Supplemental Register activity is involved. The last significant event was the cancellation in 2002, and no further maintenance or enforcement actions appear in the supplied documents. For someone thinking of a similar name, the visible risk is limited to the niche of hamper stand covers, with no broader enforcement signal evident.
