Labor Day Weekend Greetings... and Trademarks, of course!...

Labor Day Weekend 2013 is just about here and some people are making an early getaway...

So. Bound PCH, Santa Monica, Wed., August 27, 2013 around 10 a.m...
The above photo reveals some Labor Day Weekend trademarks...

1.  TOYOTA® Off-Road 4WD-SUV;

2.  STARCRAFT® camping trailer;

3.   A couple of surfboards tied up on the roof rack and we're thinking that one of them may be from BECKER SURFBOARDS® that is wrapped up nicely in a custom padded surfboard bag.

... and we are speculating that there are probably some other trademarks inside that Toyota FJ Cruiser like a couple of ice chests, water jugs, backpacks, beach chairs, blankets, beach towels, bathing suits, hats, sunscreen, sleeping bags, etc.

And for those curious about what goods are included in the BECKER SURFBOARDS® U.S. Trademark Registration, here is the current "TESS" record from the USPTO (at uspto.gov):

Lots of trademarks will be put to use over Labor Day Weekend or what some people might refer to as equipment.  If these trademarks are of interest to you, then you may want to read our short and pertinent article about Trademarks On The Beach at:

Have a safe and fun holiday weekend.

comment:  Not sure why the "Supplemental Register" was chosen for this property.  Seems to me that this application could have been filed on the Principal Register.  Wondering as well if all those goods listed as "in use" under Section 1A are in use...

In any case, here's hoping this film and merchandising property continues to be successful 

Time will tell...
