ROLL TOAD

What this record means

The record shows that “ROLL TOAD” is an abandoned application, filed by Jeffrey N. Chapman as an individual on Jan 20 2015, and the USPTO marked it dead on Aug 29 2016 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The filing covered bumper stickers, decals and magnetic bumper stickers in class 016 and hats, socks, sweatshirts and T‑shirts in class 025, so a similar name used on comparable printed‑goods or apparel would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Chapman control over every possible use of the words “roll” or “toad” outside those listed categories. The prosecution history shows the application moved from approval for publication to a Notice of Allowance, then to an extension request for a Statement of Use, which ultimately was not submitted, leading to abandonment. No opposition, cancellation or court action appears in the history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a mark on similar stickers or clothing, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO once found the mark registrable for those goods.
