What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CN CARTOON NETWORK” was abandoned on May 23 2016 and is no longer live. The owner listed is The Cartoon Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the mark was filed on an intent‑to‑use basis. The only goods listed are staple foods in class 030, specifically breakfast cereals, snack foods, pastries, confectioneries, flavored ices, frozen confections, crackers, cheese combinations, corn‑based snacks, bagels, French toast, waffles, and pizza. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in that specific food and snack category, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of extensions and a final abandonment after no Statement of Use was filed; there is no indication of opposition, cancellation, or court action. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For anyone thinking of using a similar name in the food or snack space, this abandoned mark suggests a meaningful risk of similarity in that narrow category.
