What this record means
The record shows that the mark TOAD was filed by individual Meginley Norman Leo on August 1, 2022, but it is now abandoned after the applicant failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance issued on August 29, 2023; the abandonment notice was mailed on April 1, 2024. The only goods listed are “Music composition and transcription for others” in International Class 041, so a similar name used in any music‑related service would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields would fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the application never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “TOAD.” The prosecution history shows the normal sequence of publication, allowance, and a final abandonment, with no indication of opposition or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to offer music composition services under a similar name, but the risk is lower for unrelated goods or services.
