June 27th is "National Sunglasses Day!"

Prada, Hobie, Electric, SPY, Ray-Ban, Persol... All Famous Brand names protected by trademark registrations.  What we see here in the stylized photo above, however, is a design mark that is a trademark of the Persol eyewear and which is placed on the eyeglass frames adjacent to the lenses and typically offset the dominant color of the frames with the design mark typically in the metallic shade of silver.

In addition to other design marks, the owner of the Persol line of sunglasses, eyewear, and eyeglass frames, etc., is the following U.S. trademark registration (as shown in the edited TESS record below available at www.uspto.gov):
