I've often checked things in USPTO's search system (TESS) to see if they're trademarked before I use them, and this isn't coming up for me. Anyone got any insight(?), as if it is trademarked, all my other searches over the years have been similarly inaccurate and pointless :-D
- mhartl 11y agoWhat you're seeing is the difference between trademarks™ and registered trademarks®. The USPTO lists the latter but not the former. You don't actually have to register a trademark in order to use it, but it's usually a good idea. Which reminds me: now's probably a good time to drop a line to my lawyer…
