FROG-N-TOAD

What this record means

The record shows that “FROG‑N‑TOAD” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status “dead”) owned by Australian Outback Collection, Inc., a Delaware corporation; the cancellation occurred on April 24 2004 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only clothing – specifically pants, shirts, coats, blouses, footwear, socks, boots, shoes, slippers, hats, caps, underwear, belts, sweaters, ties, suits, gloves, mittens and scarves – and the concern is therefore limited to that apparel category. The record does not give the owner control over all uses of the words “frog,” “toad,” or the combined phrase in other industries. No Supplemental Register filing appears, so there is no descriptiveness amendment to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2004, and the history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar mark for clothing, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods.
