TOPPERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark TOPPERS is dead and was abandoned by the owner, SNAK KING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation. The mark was filed on August 9, 1988, and abandoned on June 10, 1989 because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The only goods listed are candy under class 030, with first use on January 15, 1988. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not establish control over the word TOPPERS for any use. However, the closest area of concern would be other candy or staple food products that might be confused with this abandoned mark. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in November 1988 and an assignment to an examiner in October 1988, but the abandonment in June 1989 is the latest status event. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific candy goods listed remain the most relevant comparison.
