What this record means
The record shows that “TOAD CHOKER” is a dead application that was abandoned after the applicant filed an express abandonment on March 15, 2017, and the owner listed is Valencia Trademark Corporation, a Texas corporation. The filing was for a service mark covering “Restaurant and bar services” in International Class 043, so the closest area of concern would be any other restaurant, bar, or hospitality business that wants to use the same wording in its branding. The record does not give Valencia control over every possible use of the words “toad” or “choker” in unrelated fields, and it is not on the Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event in the file is the abandonment notice mailed and received in mid‑March 2017; no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The prosecution history contains only routine office actions and the abandonment, and there are no indications of oppositions, cancellations, or court actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern for anyone planning a restaurant‑related brand that sounds similar.
