TOAD

What this record means

The record shows that the “TOAD” application filed by WM & DG, INC. (an Illinois corporation) is dead – it was abandoned on July 8 2019 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are “medical apparatus with wireless transmittal capability that provide continual visualization, heart, breath sounds and temperature monitoring in real time from internally or externally placed medical devices” in International Class 010, so a similar name would be most concerning if you’re offering comparable medical monitoring equipment. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “TOAD” in unrelated fields. There is no Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history simply tracks extensions of time to file a Statement of Use before the final abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern only if you plan to market a product that falls within the same medical‑device description.
