DUN-BANK

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DUN‑BANK” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead, having been cancelled because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION, THE, a Delaware corporation. The only goods listed are “Providing Financial Information” under class 036, so a similar name used for financial‑information services would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording; it only covers that specific class and service. The prosecution history shows the mark was originally accepted under Section 8 and later renewed, but the final cancellation event in March 2016 is the most recent meaningful maintenance action. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the historical registration still signals that the name was once protected for financial‑information services.
