What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DUN’S INSIGHT” is no longer live; it was cancelled on December 29, 2000 because the registrant, DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION, THE, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on December 5, 1989 for the specific service of statistical information services in class 035, advertising and business. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class and for that particular type of service. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the history only covers the listed service. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially approved for publication, published for opposition, and then registered, with no Supplemental Register activity. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk, but the specific service area remains a potential point of concern.
