TOAD GAMBLER

What this record means

The record shows that “TOAD GAMBLER” is an abandoned service‑mark application, filed by Pecan Tree Holdings LLC on June 18 2019 and marked dead after the USPTO issued an abandonment notice on July 13 2020 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods and services listed are in International Class 041: on‑line journals (blogs) that describe, comment on, and provide information about gambling, casinos, and gambling‑related travel, plus entertainment services that provide on‑line reviews of casinos, gambling venues, and gambling events. A similar name used for anything outside that narrow online‑gaming‑content sphere would be the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “toad” or “gambler.” The prosecution history shows the application moved through examination, received a Notice of Allowance, and then was abandoned for lack of use; no enforcement actions or oppositions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a brand that targets online gambling content, because the abandoned filing still signals a prior claim in that specific niche.
