What this record means
The record shows that the mark TOPPERS is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Visual Persuasion, a corporation organized in New York, and the mark was filed under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods covered are staple foods, specifically cake batter, muffin batter, prepared food mixes such as bread, stuffing, muffin, pancake, donut, cake, frosting, pastry, and flour‑based baking mixes, as well as bakery goods like bread, cakes, croissants, biscuits, buns, rolls, donuts, muffins, cookies, pastries, and pies. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the food and bakery goods area, especially where the name is used for similar mixes or baked goods. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “TOPPERS.” No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on November 24, 2004. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the goods listed still represent the most relevant area of potential concern.
