TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 73097878. The owner is TAU BETA SIGMA, NATIONAL HONORARY SORORITY FOR COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY BANDSWOMEN, a corporation organized in Oklahoma. The registration protects the use of “TBS” for indicating membership in a fraternal order, with the first use in commerce dated March 31 1946. A similar name used for a membership program or organization that signals belonging to a group would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark owner control over every use of the letters “TBS” in all contexts. The most recent maintenance event was the renewal on September 5 2008, and the latest status update was September 4 2018. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. If you are considering a name that signals group membership, this mark presents a meaningful risk.
