What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TBS” was abandoned and is no longer active. The owner listed is TRANSTECH RESOURCES, INC., a Texas corporation that filed the application on January 21, 1993 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The mark was registered for brake hardware for vehicles in class 012, but the applicant never filed a statement of use or an extension request after the notice of allowance on December 7, 1993, so the application was abandoned on June 8, 1994. Because the mark is dead, it does not give the owner control over the wording in other contexts. The closest area of concern would be any use of “TBS” in the sale or manufacture of brake hardware or related vehicle parts. The supplied history shows no opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is limited to the specific brake‑hardware market, and no broader claim is evident from this record.
