TOAD

What this record means

The record shows that the mark TOAD was registered on the Principal Register to Malin‑Bontempo, Inc. for “internal pipe joint weld inspection services” (International Class 042) but the registration was cancelled on August 22 2005 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The goods listed are narrowly focused on inspection services for pipe joints, so a similar name used in that technical field would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “TOAD.” No supplemental‑register activity appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal allowance, registration and later cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same inspection‑service niche.
