BLACK CARTOON NETWORK

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BLACK CARTOON NETWORK” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Black Cartoon Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark was applied for on an intent‑to‑use basis and covered services in class 038—streaming audio, visual, and audiovisual material over the Internet—and class 041—providing online non‑downloadable cartoon strips. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in those same online streaming or cartoon‑strip services, especially where the content is delivered via a global computer network. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows a normal examination sequence with a non‑final action and eventual abandonment; no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific streaming and cartoon‑strip services remain a potential area of concern.
