THE DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION FOUNDATION

What this record means

The record shows that “THE DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION FOUNDATION” was a registered service mark on the Principal Register, owned by Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, The, a Delaware corporation. The mark covered the service of conducting a charitable gift‑matching program in the insurance and financial class 036, with first use in 1967. The mark was cancelled on January 29, 2005 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially registered, then cancelled, with no subsequent opposition or enforcement activity recorded. Because the mark is cancelled, the record does not establish control over the wording for any new use, but the closest concern would arise for services that match the charitable gift‑matching program in the insurance and financial field. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement signals. If you are considering a similar name, be aware that the cancelled status removes the formal protection, yet the earlier registration may still raise a potential concern for closely related services.
