TOPPERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TOPPERS” is dead, having been abandoned by Toppers Specialties LLC, a Florida limited liability company, because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance on September 6 2022. The mark was filed on August 18 2021 under an intent‑to‑use basis for class 030, covering flavor enhancers used in food and beverage products. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not grant control over the word “TOPPERS” in any context, but the closest concern would arise for businesses dealing with flavor enhancers or related food additives. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of correspondence, a Notice of Allowance, and an abandonment notice, with no evidence of opposition or enforcement actions. The latest event is the abandonment on April 10 2023. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that while the mark is no longer enforceable, the earlier filing could still create a potential concern for flavor‑enhancer products.
