TOPPERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TOPPERS” is no longer active; it was cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant failed to file a declaration. The owner was Toppers, Inc., a corporation organized in Pennsylvania. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register for two classes: class 021, covering thermal insulated and non‑insulated containers for foods or beverages, and class 025, covering caps and aprons. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those specific goods—food or beverage containers and certain apparel items—because those are the only areas where the mark was protected. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; other rights could exist elsewhere. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially registered, then cancelled in 2005, with no later maintenance filings. No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of a similar name, be aware that the cancelled registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in those specific goods.
