TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” is dead and was abandoned by Superstation, Inc., a corporation organized in Georgia, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on June 21 2001 and abandoned on July 11 2002. The only goods and services listed are entertainment services and motion picture film production rendered through cable television, broadcast television, broadcast radio and the global computer information network, class 041. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same media and entertainment space, especially where cable or broadcast television services are offered. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only covers the specific services listed. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that using “TBS” in the same entertainment or broadcast context could still be problematic, even though the mark itself is no longer active.
