TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” is no longer active; it was cancelled on February 28, 2010 because the registrant, IMV Technologies, a joint‑stock company organized in France, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on July 22, 2003 for the single class 010 good: “paillette‑like holders for semen to be used in the artificial insemination of animals.” Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark no longer carries any legal protection, but the history indicates that the owner once claimed rights over that specific agricultural equipment. A new name that is very similar to “TBS” and used for the same or closely related animal‑insemination devices would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not show any opposition, extension, or court action, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed remain a potential point of concern if the new use is in the same niche.
