TOPPERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TOPPERS” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, Roderick H. Sedliacik, did not file a Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for plastic ornaments for use on automobiles in class 020. Because the record is abandoned, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The closest concern for a new name would be in the same class of automotive plastic ornaments. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on August 16, 1996. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific goods in class 020 still present a potential concern if the new use is similar.
