What this record means
The record shows that “CARTOON NETWORK” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by The Cartoon Network, Inc. The registration covers a wide range of paper goods and printed matter, including stickers, calendars, trading cards, posters, paint sets for children, pens, pencils, children’s books, comic books, coloring books, postcards, greeting cards, and various paper party goods such as hats, streamers, blowers, tablecloths, napkins, gift wrap, banners, door signs, tags, party decorations, lunch bags, bank checks, aquariums, and indoor terrariums for plant cultivation. A similar name used on comparable paper or printed products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the goods listed. The mark is on the Principal Register, so the prosecution history shows a standard examination and approval sequence, not a Supplemental Register transfer. The latest maintenance event is the renewal on August 19, 2017, with no further enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the same class suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the goods overlap.
