TOAD PENCIL PRODUCTIONS

What this record means

The record shows that “TOAD PENCIL PRODUCTIONS” is a cancelled registration – the Principal Register entry (Reg. 4474804) was voided on September 4 2020 because the owner, Oscar Lafont, did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the status is listed as “dead · cancelled.” The registration covered only one class, 041 (Education & Entertainment), specifically “animation production services,” with a first‑use claim of January 1 2010 and use in commerce from January 1 2012. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if it is used for animation or related production services, since that is the exact scope the record protects. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “toad,” “pencil,” or “productions” in other industries. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal examination and the later Section 8 cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning an animation‑production brand that resembles this mark.
