What this record means
The record shows that “DUN & BRADSTREET” is a live, registered service mark owned by The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, a Delaware corporation. It is on the Principal Register and covers the service of providing credit rating and financial reporting and analysis, a class 036 service that has been in use since 1933. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve credit reporting, financial analysis, or related financial services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Dun” or “Bradstreet” in unrelated contexts. The mark’s most recent maintenance event was the renewal on May 9, 2023, which keeps the registration active. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is that any use in credit or financial reporting services could be viewed as infringing this active, principal‑registered mark.
