TBS

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “TBS” was once registered on the Principal Register but has since been cancelled. The owner was First Oklahoma Bancorporation, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark covered the service class 035, specifically “Bill Paying Services,” and the cancellation occurred on July 18, 1990 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in general, but the historical registration still indicates that the name was once protected for bill‑paying services. The prosecution history shows the mark was published for opposition in December 1983, approved for publication in September 1983, and ultimately registered in March 1984 before cancellation. No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear after the cancellation, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the bill‑paying or related financial services area; otherwise the risk is lower but not eliminated.
