What this record means
The record shows that TOAD RUB is a live, registered trademark owned by TOAD'S HERB EMPORIUM, INC., a corporation organized in Illinois, and it sits on the Principal Register (registration date April 25 2023). The protection is limited to “Spice rubs” in International Class 030, which covers staple food products; a similar name used for anything outside that narrow food‑seasoning category would be the closest record‑based concern, but the registration does not control every possible use of the words “toad” or “rub.” The prosecution history indicates the application was filed on March 18 2022, published for opposition on February 7 2023, and then approved and entered on the Principal Register on April 25 2023, with no later maintenance filings shown. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a spice‑rub product under a similar name.
