TBS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TBS” is dead and was abandoned by Food Equipment Technologies Company, Inc., a corporation organized in Illinois. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for electric coffee makers, with first use in commerce on April 17 2002. Because the mark was abandoned, it no longer controls the use of the wording in that specific class, but the history still indicates that the owner once claimed rights to the name for that product. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in July 2006 and an abandonment notice in February 2007, with no subsequent maintenance filings. There are no visible enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations in the supplied record. A similar name used for electric coffee makers would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. If you are considering a similar name, be aware that the abandoned status does not guarantee freedom to use the wording in that class.
