DUN'S BUSINESS MONTH

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DUN'S BUSINESS MONTH” is no longer active; it was cancelled under Section 7 because the registrant, DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION, THE, surrendered the registration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in class 016 for the good “PERIODIC MAGAZINE,” first used in commerce in September 1981. Because the mark covers a specific type of publication, a similar name used for a different kind of product or service would be farther from the scope shown here, but the record does not give control over all uses of the wording. No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear in the supplied data, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. The last meaningful status event was the cancellation on June 23, 1988. For anyone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be if the new use involved a periodic magazine; otherwise the risk is lower but not eliminated.
