TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark TBS was registered on the Principal Register to AETNA CASUALTY AND SURETY COMPANY, THE, but the registration was cancelled under Section 7 when the registrant surrendered it, with the status date of Nov 06 1998. The only listed goods are “insurance premium billing services” in International Class 035, so a later use of TBS in that same insurance‑billing context would be the closest area of concern from this record. The record does not give the owner any control over every possible use of the letters TBS outside those services, and it does not appear on the Supplemental Register, so there is no descriptiveness refusal or amendment to note. The latest meaningful event is the surrender cancellation in 1998, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond the surrender, or court actions, so there is no visible enforcement signal. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use TBS for insurance‑related billing, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
