Trademarks BIB: Bibliographic Information from Abandoned, Canceled, Expired, Pending, and Registered US Trademarks
Now a two-disc set, Trademarks BIB contains bibliographic information from U.S. trademarks. Trademarks BIB:Live contains bibliographic information from pending US trademarks and active, registered US trademarks and Trademarks BIB:ACE contains bibliographic information from abandoned trademark applications or canceled or expired US trademark registrations. Depending on the user's equipment, the two-set disc can be searched simultaneously.
There are 35 searchable fields in the database including Word Mark, Pseudo Mark, Translation, Mark Combined Search, Owner Name, Owner Address, Goods and Services, International Class, and Description of Mark. The Live/Dead Indicator field identifies the mark as Pending or Registered. The Status field in Trademarks BIB:ACE records gives the reason for the "death" of the mark. Image locations on USAMark discs have now been added for all registered marks. Includes the Cassis2 Installation and Reference Manual and product-specific User's Guide.

USAMark: Facsimile Images of Registered United States Trademarks
The USAMark disc contains facsimile images of US registered trademarks from 1870 to the present. An "image" is an actual page of the trademark, including renewals and modifications, which looks just like the original printed document. USAMark is a document delivery system, not a search system. Retrieval is by document number only from a cumulative index that covers all issued discs. Excellent printed copies of actual documents can be obtained directly from a laser printer. USAMark uses Document Delivery for Windows (DocDW) retrieval software. The subscription includes the DocDW Installation and Reference Manual. USAMark is published as a back file and a front file. The inaugural back file of 118 discs covers registrations through 1998. Beginning with January 1999, front file discs are distributed on a monthly basis. A sample of this product is available on request.
