TOPPERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark TOPPERS is dead and was abandoned by Snak King Corporation, a Delaware corporation, because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The mark was filed on March 23, 1990, and the abandonment was recorded on April 23, 1991. The only goods listed are colored candy sprinkles and dessert or food toppings in class 030. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same category of confectionery toppings. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word TOPPERS; it only covers the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that while the mark is no longer active, the abandoned filing still shows that the owner once claimed rights to that specific confectionery product line, so using the name in that area could still be problematic.
