What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DUN & BRADSTREET” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 72260032, owned by DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION, THE, a Delaware corporation. It protects the mark for credit, financial, marketing, sales, and educational books, pamphlets, and reports in class 016, with first use in 1933. A similar name used for those kinds of printed materials would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specified goods and services. The mark has been renewed, with the most recent renewal event on June 16, 2018, and no other maintenance dates are listed. There are no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. If you plan to use a similar name for similar books or pamphlets, you should be aware that this mark could be a meaningful concern.
