TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” is no longer active; it was cancelled on November 29, 2003 because the owner, Jane W. Weiss, failed to file a required declaration under Section 8. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on February 25, 1997 for handmade stuffed toy animals such as bears, rabbits and ducks, first used in commerce on July 26, 1996. Because the goods are specific to plush toys, a similar name would raise the closest concern only if the new use involved comparable stuffed animals or related merchandise. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the letters “TBS.” No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone thinking of a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark no longer protects that specific toy line, but the earlier registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that narrow category.
