What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CN CARTOON NETWORK” is no longer live; it was cancelled on January 22, 2016 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner was The Cartoon Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation that filed the application on July 14, 2008 and registered the mark on June 16, 2009. The goods listed are games and playthings such as action figures, plush toys, dolls, board games, jigsaw puzzles, and balls for games, all first used in commerce on June 1, 2005. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the toy and game category, but the record does not give the mark control over all uses of the wording. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path from filing to publication to registration, with no Supplemental Register steps. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. For someone looking at a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, yet the specific toy‑related goods still present a focused concern.
