TOAD

What this record means

The record shows that the “TOAD” application filed by Shenzhen Jinyang Photoelectric Science and Technology Co., Ltd. is dead – it was abandoned on July 9 2021 after the applicant failed to answer an Office action. The filing covered only Class 011 items such as lamps, aquarium lights, LED fixtures, torches and other lighting apparatus, so a later user of “TOAD” for similar lighting products would run into the closest record‑based concern. The USPTO entry does not give the owner control over every use of the word “TOAD” in unrelated fields, and because the mark never reached registration it carries no enforceable rights. The prosecution history simply records the non‑final action and the abandonment notice; there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions listed. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a lighting‑related brand, but the risk is far lower for other types of goods or services.
