Re:  Custom  Branded  Networks,  Inc.'s  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-8

Ladies  and  Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Custom Branded Networks, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the  "Company"),  in  connection  with  the  preparation  of  the  registration
statement  on  Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933,  as amended (the "Act"), relating to the offering of certain shares of the
Company's  common  stock  issued  through  its  Consulting  Agreements  (the
"Agreements").  This  opinion  is  being furnished pursuant to Item 601(b)(5) of
Regulation  S-K  under  the  Act.

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have reviewed: (a) the Registration
Statement and the exhibits thereto; (b) the Company's Articles of Incorporation;
(c)  the  Company's  Bylaws;  (d)  certain  records  of  the Company's corporate
proceedings as reflected in its minute books; and (e) such statutes, records and
other  documents as we have deemed relevant. In our examination, we have assumed
the  genuineness  of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals, and conformity with the originals of all documents submitted
to  us  as  copies thereof. In addition, we have made such other examinations of
law  and  fact,  as  we  have  deemed  relevant in order to form a basis for the
opinion  hereinafter  expressed.

Members  of  our firm are admitted to the practice of law in the State of Nevada
and  we  express  no  opinion  as  to  the  laws  of  any  other  jurisdiction.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that under Nevada
law,  when (i) the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) the Shares are
issued  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  consulting  agreements,  and  (iii)
certificates  representing  the  Shares  are  duly  executed,  countersigned,
registered  and  delivered,  the Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully  paid  and  non-assessable.

Very  truly  yours,

CANE  O'NEILL  TAYLOR,  LLC
