What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TOP IT OFF!” is no longer live; it was cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant, Edison Brothers Stores, Inc., failed to file a declaration. The mark was registered on March 3, 1981 in the Principal Register for class 025, covering tops, shirts, blouses, sweaters, coats and jackets. The cancellation date was July 9, 1987, and no further maintenance or enforcement events appear in the supplied history. Because the mark was only on the Principal Register and only for apparel, a similar name used for clothing would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, especially outside apparel or outside the United States. With no visible opposition or enforcement activity, the supplied history shows no active enforcement. Anyone considering a similar name should be aware that the cancelled registration still indicates that the owner once claimed rights to that phrase for clothing.
