DUN'S GEOCONNECT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DUN’S GEOCONNECT” is no longer active; it was cancelled on January 29 2016 because the registrant failed to file a required declaration. The owner listed is DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION, THE, a Delaware corporation. The mark covered services in class 042, specifically “providing access time to a computer database in the field of geocoded business information.” A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of geocoded data services, while use in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only indicates that this particular registration is inactive. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially granted on the Principal Register in 1991 and later renewed, but the final cancellation event is the most recent significant status change. No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk of conflict in the same data‑service niche, but it does not eliminate the possibility of other rights or future claims.
