DUN & BRADSTREET CREDIBILITY CORP.
Dead · Withdrawn DEAD/APPLICATION/Withdrawn/Abandoned
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DUN & BRADSTREET CREDIBILITY CORP.” was filed as a service mark by The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation on March 15, 2011 and was abandoned on September 5, 2013 when the applicant filed an express abandonment. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered services in class 035, specifically providing sales, credit and market reports, general business and credit information, marketing studies, and related business information services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the mark’s description of business‑information services overlaps. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specified services. The prosecution history shows a suspension and eventual abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the same class of services remains a potential point of concern.
