TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” is a dead, cancelled service mark owned by Superstation, Inc., a corporation organized in Georgia. It was registered on April 3, 2007 in class 041 for entertainment services such as television show production, television distribution, motion picture film production and distribution through cable, broadcast, radio and the global computer information network, with first use on June 4, 2002. Because the mark is cancelled, the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, but the record still indicates that the mark once covered those specific entertainment services. A similar name used in the same or closely related entertainment activities would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “TBS.” The last maintenance event was a cancellation under Section 8 on November 10, 2017, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the prior registration in entertainment services remains a potential point of concern if the new use is in that same field.
