TBSSerial 73537986 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: XOMED INC.
Class 010 -
Filed May 16, 1985
Registered Jul 29, 1986
This record shows that the mark “TBS” was registered on the Principal Register on July 29, 1986 by XOMED INC., a Delaware corporation, and was cancelled on February 1, 1993 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered electronic sound amplification systems comprising human ear implants, microphones, electronic boxes and coils, first used on January 22, 1985. Because the goods are highly specialized medical‑device equipment, a similar name used for unrelated products would be a far‑removed concern, but a name used for similar hearing‑implant or audio‑amplification devices would present the closest record‑based risk. The cancellation does not grant anyone unrestricted use of the wording; it merely removes the specific registration. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk if the new use falls within the same medical‑device category, but a low risk for unrelated goods.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
