TOAD

What this record means

The record shows that TOAD is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by WM & DG, INC., a corporation organized in Illinois, and it has been registered since November 22 2022. The registration covers two classes: Class 035 for “providing consumer product information about medical devices and their use via a website and/or via social media,” and Class 041 for “providing a website featuring non‑downloadable videos featuring information about medical devices and their use.” A similar name would be most concerning if used for any online or video‑based service that informs consumers about medical devices, because those are the exact goods and services listed. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word TOAD in other contexts. The latest meaningful status event is the registration confirmation on November 22 2022; subsequent TEAS correspondence updates in 2024 do not change the registration’s scope. The supplied history shows no opposition, cancellation or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable medical‑device information service.
