Trademarks BIB Subscriber Notice

December 2004 Issue

We are pleased to provide you with the test copy of the upcoming two-disc set of Trademarks BIB. Trademarks BIB:Live contains active, registered US trademarks and pending trademark applications. Trademarks BIB:ACE contains abandoned trademark applications and cancelled and expired US trademarks.

If you have two DVD-ROM drives:

1) Insert Trademarks BIB:Live in the top drive* and install using setup.exe accepting all defaults
2) Insert Trademarks BIB:ACE in the lower drive* and install using setup.exe accepting all defaults
3) The Cassis2 interface should display one Trademarks BIB icon under the Main button in the left sidebar
*The discs must always be inserted in the same drives in order for the discs to work properly.

If you wish to install the data to your hard drive:

1) Copy the disc to two directories in your hard drive. We suggest that you use Live and ACE. You will need approximately 14 GB of free space for this option
2) Install Trademarks BIB:Live using setup.exe accepting all defaults
3) Install Trademarks BIB:ACE using setup.exe accepting all defaults
4) The Cassis2 interface should display one Trademarks BIB icon under the Main button in the left sidebar.

If you have one DVD-ROM drive:

1) Insert Trademarks BIB:Live in the drive and install using setuptwo.exe accepting all defaults
2) Remove Trademarks BIB:Live and insert Trademarks BIB:ACE in the drive
3) Install using setup.exe accepting all defaults
4) The Cassis2 interface should display a Trademarks BIB button with two Trademarks BIB icons in the left sidebar

You will be able to search the two discs simultaneously if you have two DVD-ROM drives or you installed the data to your hard drive. You must search the two discs separately if you have one DVD-ROM drive. In order to save reentering the same search on both discs, you can save the first search using the Search History feature and then rerun the search on the second disc.

If the discs do not function in the expected manner or you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or e-mail.
