What this record means
The record shows that “DUN & BRADSTREET” is a live, registered service mark owned by Dun & Bradstreet International, Ltd., a Delaware corporation. It is listed on the Principal Register and covers services in classes 035 and 036, specifically business‑information and credit‑reporting services such as providing sales reports, credit ratings, and marketing studies. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses offering comparable data or credit‑reporting services, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The mark’s status is current, having been renewed on January 5, 2021, and the most recent maintenance event was the acceptance of the 10‑year renewal. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. For anyone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in business‑information or credit‑reporting services could be seen as infringing this active, principal‑registered mark.
