TOAD

What this record means

The record shows that TOAD is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Knog Pty Ltd, an Australian limited liability company, and it is no longer live as of the status date on Dec 11 2015 when the registration was cancelled for failure to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only Class 011 goods – bicycle lights, vehicle dynamo lamps and portable battery‑operated lights for use where other light sources are unavailable – so a later applicant using the same word for lighting accessories, especially for bicycles or similar vehicles, would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Knog control over every possible use of the word “TOAD” in unrelated fields. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the prosecution history shows a normal path to registration followed by a later Section 8 cancellation; there is no indication of any oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that targets the same lighting market, but the cancellation means the USPTO no longer blocks the word in other categories.
