CARTOON NETWORK

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “CARTOON NETWORK” was registered on the Principal Register in 2000 but was cancelled in 2010 because the owner, Cartoon Network LP, LLLP, THE, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered advertising and business services, specifically “promoting the sale of goods and services of others through printed materials, advertising and promotions.” A similar name used in that same advertising and promotion context would raise the closest concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides nationwide protection, but it does not erase any prior rights that might still exist in other classes or jurisdictions. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially accepted for a six‑year Section 8 term and later renewed for another six years before cancellation. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific advertising and promotion services remain the most relevant area of concern.
