What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CN CARTOON NETWORK” is no longer live; it was cancelled on October 31, 2014 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is The Cartoon Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 035, covering online retail store services featuring general consumer merchandise, with first use in commerce on August 31, 2000. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of online retail services that sell consumer goods. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and then registered; no Supplemental Register activity is involved. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the earlier registration in class 035 still signals that the wording was once protected for those specific services.
