DUN'S BUSINESS LOCATOR

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DUN’S BUSINESS LOCATOR” is no longer active; it was cancelled on January 27, 2001 because the registrant, Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, did not file a required declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on January 11, 1994 for services in class 042, specifically computer services that provide access to a database of company identification and business information. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same field of computer‑based business information services. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific rights that were held for that class. The prosecution history shows a normal examination sequence with a final refusal, a non‑final action, and eventual registration before cancellation. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the original scope of computer‑based business information services remains a potential point of concern.
