TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” was once registered on the Principal Register as a service mark owned by MERCER MANAGEMENT CONSULTING, INC., a Delaware corporation. The registration expired on November 1, 2003 because the owner did not renew it, so the mark is now dead and no longer enforceable under USPTO rules. The only goods or services listed are management‑consultant services such as corporate development, economic forecasting, marketing planning, organization development, transportation management, public‑policy planning, and systems analysis, all under class 035. A new name that is very similar and used for comparable consulting services would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The record contains no evidence of opposition, cancellation, or other enforcement activity. Because the mark is expired, the history suggests that the owner has not maintained or enforced the mark, but the past registration still indicates that the wording was once protected for those specific consulting services.
