CARTOON NETWORK

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., a Delaware corporation. The mark protects the words “CARTOON NETWORK” on a narrow set of plastic goods: drinking straws, picture frames, sleeping bags, plastic cake decorations, plastic figurines, plastic novelty license plates, and plastic key chain tags, all first used in commerce in 1998. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used on comparable plastic items, especially novelty or decorative products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only the specific goods listed. No prosecution history or enforcement activity appears, and the latest status event is the renewal noted in October 2022. With no visible enforcement signals, the risk for a similar name on unrelated goods is lower, but on the same plastic products it remains a meaningful concern.
