What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CN CARTOON NETWORK” was registered on the Principal Register on April 7, 2009, but was cancelled on November 13, 2015 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner was The Cartoon Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark covered paper party decorations, children’s books, comic books, stationery, writing implements, and stickers in class 016. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any product or service that falls within that same class of paper goods and printed matter, especially items that resemble party decorations or children’s books. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. The prosecution history shows a normal examination, publication for opposition, and eventual cancellation, with no opposition or court actions recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of a similar name, be aware that the cancelled registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that specific set of goods.
