DUN & BRADSTREET

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DUN & BRADSTREET” is no longer live; it was cancelled on July 23 2012 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION, THE, a Delaware corporation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 041, covering educational and entertainment services such as correspondence courses in credit and financial analysis, fundamentals of the credit function, profitable management for the independent retailer, personal investments, sales training, the language of business, and problems in credit and collections. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the education and training field, especially where the services mirror those listed. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “DUN” or “BRADSTREET.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a reduced risk, but the specific educational services listed still represent the most relevant area of concern.
