What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TBS” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 74301355, owned by FIVES BRONX, INC., a corporation organized in Ohio. The registration covers machines for forming metallic welded tubes used as casings for drill rigs, line pipe, pilings, building columns and ship components, first used on December 17, 1993. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same industrial equipment area, especially where the goods are used in the oil and gas or construction sectors. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the letters “TBS” in all contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest status event is the renewal on April 3, 2025, and the next significant date would be the next renewal deadline, which is not provided. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the same class suggests a meaningful risk of confusion if the new use is in a related field.
