What this record means
The record shows that “CN CARTOON NETWORK” is a live, registered service mark owned by The Cartoon Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark protects the words “CN CARTOON NETWORK” in connection with cable television and satellite television broadcasting services, as well as streaming of audio, video, and audio/video materials over the Internet, all under class 038. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in those same communication services, especially online streaming or cable/satellite broadcasting. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in all contexts; it is limited to the listed services. The mark is on the Principal Register, and the prosecution history shows no descriptive refusal or Supplemental Register movement. The most recent maintenance event was the renewal on February 6, 2022, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in cable, satellite, or streaming services could be viewed as infringing this active registration.
