What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CARTOON NETWORK” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by CARTOON NETWORK, INC., THE, a Delaware corporation. The registration covers entertainment and education services in the nature of a series of television and cable television programs directed toward children and young adults, provided through cable television, broadcast television, radio, and the global computer information network. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in those same media and content categories. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it applies only to the goods and services listed. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move, and the latest maintenance event was a renewal on August 26 2022. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use falls within those television or online educational services.
