What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TOP IT OFF” is dead and was abandoned by Saddleman, Inc., a Delaware corporation, because the owner never filed a Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 12 goods, specifically headliner material for use in lining the interior roof of a vehicle. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the automotive interior materials field, where the wording is identical. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the phrase, only over that specific class of goods. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, allowed, and then abandoned after no use statement was filed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the exact wording in the same automotive interior context could still create a potential concern.
