TOAD!
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows the mark TOAD! is cancelled, having been removed from the Principal Register on Nov 5 2005 because the registrant did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is Katherine C. Speelman, an individual. The registration covered only “newsletters relating to humor and current events” in International Class 016, so a similar name used for that type of printed‑matter would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated fields such as food, software or apparel fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “TOAD!” and it never appeared on the Supplemental Register, so there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2005, and the supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a humor‑newsletter brand with the same name.
