DUN'S BUSINESSLINESerial 74305742 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, The
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Filed Aug 20, 1992
Registered Aug 20, 1996
The record shows that the mark “DUN’S BUSINESSLINE” was registered on the Principal Register on August 20 1996 by Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, a Delaware corporation, but it was cancelled on May 24 2003 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered computer services for storing and retrieving marketing business information under class 035. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of computer‑based business information services. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides exclusive rights, but the history does not mean the wording is free for all uses; other rights could exist elsewhere. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration path with no supplemental register steps. No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied record, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific business‑information service area still presents a potential concern.

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.
