TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” was registered on the Principal Register on September 1, 2009, but it was cancelled on June 5, 2020 because the owner, Superstation, Inc., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered entertainment services, specifically the provision of ongoing multimedia programs in action, adventure, comedy, drama and sports distributed via various platforms across multiple transmission media. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same entertainment‑services area, especially where the services are offered through multiple media platforms. The cancellation means the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only shows that the mark was once protected in that specific field. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of publication, acceptance, and registration, with no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation on June 5, 2020, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern in entertainment services, but the cancellation leaves the mark’s protection uncertain.
