DUN & BRADSTREET

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DUN & BRADSTREET” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION, THE, a Delaware corporation. It protects services in class 035, specifically furnishing credit rating reports, marketing reports, sales reports, financial reports, credit and financial analysis, commercial collections, marketing and research, and economic studies and services. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in any of those credit‑reporting or financial‑analysis services. The record does not give control over every use of the words “DUN” or “BRADSTREET” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows only routine maintenance actions; no opposition, cancellation, or court action appears. The most recent event is the renewal on April 27, 2018, which keeps the mark active. With no enforcement activity recorded, the risk for a new name in the same credit‑reporting or financial‑analysis field is meaningful and should be considered carefully.
