Winter Trademarks: Lesson 1

Ski poles, as with skis, snowboards, etc. are registrable in International Class #28 as trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Below is an extract of the current online USPTO record for SCOTT® that includes goods in three separate classes, including Class #28. This registration assures the Registrant presumptively valid trademark rights in the U.S. Other benefits also exist for the Registrant. This particular registration has also taken advantage of the optional filing opportunity provided by Section 15 of the Trademark Act which affords "incontestible" status to the Registrant. This is very much recommended and further strengthens the Registrant's exclusive position with respect to its trademark.

The Registrant, SCOTT USA INC. also is the owner of multiple other U.S. Federal Trademark Registrations. It is no coincidence that this registration policy is adopted by such companies as Scott USA Inc. The last thing they need is a cheap competitor boosting their product off the fame of the SCOTT® trademark.

Lesson 2 is to get out there and try some of this equipment out.
