TOPPERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark TOPPERS is no longer active; it was cancelled on February 9, 1998 because the registrant, TRINA, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on August 6, 1991 for umbrellas in class 018, with first use in commerce on February 7, 1990. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark no longer confers any rights, but the historical registration still indicates that the owner once claimed exclusive use of the name for umbrellas. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “TOPPERS”; it only covered that specific product line. No opposition, extension, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for umbrellas, the closest record‑based concern is the former registration for that exact good, and the history suggests that the owner has not maintained the mark, reducing the likelihood of a claim.
