TBS
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that “TBS” is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by Superstation, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and it has been registered since September 26 2017. The registration covers communication services (class 038) such as television broadcasting, wireless transmission of text, data, audio, video and graphics, and internet streaming of entertainment and editorial content, as well as education‑and‑entertainment services (class 041) that include production and distribution of motion‑picture films, TV programs, news, comedy and talk‑show content across cable, satellite, broadcast and internet platforms. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for any of those broadcast, streaming or multimedia entertainment services, because the listed goods are fairly broad within that media space. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the letters “TBS” in unrelated fields. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of the combined Section 8 (six‑year renewal) and Section 15 (ownership) declarations on April 8 2023, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable brand in the same broadcasting or streaming arena.
