TBSSerial 86695265 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Jul 16, 2015
The record shows that the mark “TBS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on July 16, 2015 and the abandonment notice was mailed on May 26, 2016. The only goods and services listed are entertainment services in class 041, specifically production and distribution of motion picture films, ongoing television programs, and multimedia program series across cable, broadcast, and internet platforms. Because the mark is no longer live, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but it does create a close concern for any new mark that covers similar entertainment services. The prosecution history shows no opposition or enforcement activity, and the supplied history contains no further maintenance or renewal events. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces risk, but the same entertainment services could still raise a concern if the new mark is too close to the abandoned mark’s scope.

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.
