TOP IT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TOP IT” is no longer active; it was cancelled on September 29, 2007 because the registrant, HASBRO, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on December 26, 2000 for hand‑held electronic games. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of handheld electronic games, as that is the only goods category listed. The record does not give the mark any blanket control over the wording in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed, a use amendment was filed, and a Statement of Use was required and eventually filed, but the cancellation event is the most recent significant maintenance action. No oppositions, extensions of time to oppose, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the earlier registration for handheld electronic games still suggests a potential concern if the new use is in that same or a closely related field.
