What this record means
The record shows that “TOAD TOTE” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, RISHIRESEARCH, a Texas limited‑liability company, failed to answer a non‑final office action, resulting in an abandonment notice on September 25, 2025. The filing covered Class 018 goods, specifically a range of bags such as handbags, tote bags, travel bags and related accessories; a similar name used for any of those bag types would be the closest point of concern because the record’s protection was limited to that description. The abandonment means the USPTO does not grant the owner any exclusive right over the words themselves, and it does not extend to unrelated products or services. The prosecution history only reflects the examiner’s non‑final action and the subsequent abandonment, with no oppositions, cancellations or court activity noted. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a bag brand with a name resembling “TOAD TOTE,” since the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO once saw a potential conflict in that market.
