TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner listed is TEAM SPORTS BEACHWEAR, INC., a California corporation that filed the application on November 5, 2003. The mark covered beachwear and swimwear under class 025, with first use on August 15, 2003. Because the mark was abandoned, it does not give the owner control over the word “TBS” in any context, but the record indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for beachwear or swimwear items. The prosecution history shows the application was entered, amended, and ultimately abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an office action. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of conflict if the new use is in beachwear or swimwear, but no broader claim exists.
