TBSSerial 73539896 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: BLUE CROSS OF NORTHWEST OHIO, INC.
Class 036 - Insurance & Financial
Filed May 28, 1985
The record shows that the mark “TBS” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, BLUE CROSS OF NORTHWEST OHIO, INC., a corporation organized in Ohio. The mark was filed on May 28, 1985 and abandoned on March 25, 1986 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 036, covering services that provide a comprehensive system for processing health insurance benefits from initial claim through final payment or disposition. A similar name used in that same insurance‑processing context would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific services listed. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment in March 1986. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific health‑insurance‑processing services remain a potential point of concern.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
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.
