What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DUN’S QUEST” was once registered on the Principal Register but was cancelled on April 23, 2005 because the registrant, Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, failed to file a required declaration. The mark covered the provision of computer‑generated information on business entities for others, a service in class 035. A similar name used for a service that supplies business‑entity data would raise the closest concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation means the mark no longer confers exclusive rights, but the history does not prove that the wording is free for all uses. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially approved, published, and registered, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. With no enforcement activity visible, the supplied history shows no active protection, but the cancelled status still signals that the name was once considered distinctive for that specific service.
