What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TBS” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Superstation, Inc., a corporation organized in Georgia. It protects services in class 038, specifically television broadcasting, wireless transmission of text, data, audio, video and graphics to wireless devices, streaming audio and video over the internet, and providing streaming entertainment and editorial content online. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same communication‑service areas. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “TBS” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows a straightforward acceptance of the application, with no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register movement. The most recent status event is the acceptance of Sections 8 and 15 declarations on July 19, 2023. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the existing registration presents a meaningful risk in the listed communication‑service categories.
