TBSSerial 78165517 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Joseph J. Berto
Class 012 -
Filed Sep 18, 2002
The record shows that the mark “TBS” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Joseph J. Berto, an individual who filed the application on September 18, 2002 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The application was for clutches for land vehicles, class 012, and the mark was never registered. The abandonment occurred on September 26, 2003 when the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. Because the mark never entered the Principal Register, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action in February 2003 and the eventual abandonment; no supplemental register status or enforcement activity appears. The only visible status event is the abandonment date in 2003. A similar name used for clutches or related automotive parts would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active claim, but the specific automotive context remains a potential point of caution.

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.
