Filed Sep 14, 1989
Registered Feb 12, 1991
The record shows that the mark “TBS” is no longer live; it was cancelled on October 22, 2021 because the owner, GENERAL DATA COMPANY, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1991 for goods in the histology and tissue‑processing field, specifically stains, tissue‑freezing media, dyes, paraffin, slide and cassette storage units, microtome blades, specimen holders, and related equipment. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same technical area of laboratory supplies and equipment. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the letters “TBS”; it only covers the listed goods. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 lapse appear in the supplied history. The latest status event is the cancellation in 2021, and no further dates are provided. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk of infringement, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use is in the same or closely related field.

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.
