What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TBS” is no longer live; it was cancelled on March 7, 2010 because the owner, TBS PRINTWARE GMBH, did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on July 31, 1979 for class 016, covering a wide range of paper goods and office supplies such as typewriter ribbons, printing ribbons, carbon paper, duplicating foils, and related items. A similar name used for products or services within that same class—especially office or printing supplies—would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the letters “TBS”; it is limited to the specific goods listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 2010. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if used in the same field.
