DUN'S AMERICAN EXECUTIVE REGISTRY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DUN’S AMERICAN EXECUTIVE REGISTRY” was registered on the Principal Register on November 17, 1992, but the registration was cancelled on May 24, 1999 because the registrant, Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered mailing list preparation services in class 035, advertising and business services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class and for those specific services. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of examination, publication, and cancellation, with no evidence of opposition or enforcement actions. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 1999, and no further dates are supplied. If you’re thinking of a similar name, the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in that narrow field, so proceed with caution.
