TOPPERS
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark “TOPPERS” is no longer active; it was cancelled on May 8 2020 because the owner, Venus Wafers, Inc., did not file a required declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in 1997 for the goods “waffles” under class 030, with first use in April 1996. Because the cancellation was due to a Section 8 filing lapse, the mark no longer confers any rights, and the record does not establish control over the word “TOPPERS” in any context. The prosecution history indicates a straightforward registration and renewal process with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The latest meaningful event was the cancellation in 2020; no further dates are supplied. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be the former registration for waffles, but the mark’s cancellation means there is no active claim to enforce.
