first time i\'ve used the US patent office search - and success!

I was so suprised that I got it first time I had to share!

Searching for a fabric trademark 'cravenette' from a coat I'll post pictures of when I get back from errands, and bingo - first time!

Why isn't it always that straightforward!!

*******EDIT!

I have had lots of luck with the patent office as well. Its easy to use and often there are schematic drawings of the items as well. Here is the link for the site. If you have a US patent date on an item try it - it works!

Thanks for the link Jonathan - I was too busy being enthused... I am going to look for more things to research on there!

Here's the coat, by the way - any keywords appreciated I know I should have probably listed it about 6 months ago, but hopefully someone will find it useful for April showers!





Need to do a front shot i know, but batteries died halfway through this mornings 'shoot'.

Ok I am confused where did you put the "word mark" in. I used Jonathan's link but don't see anything in th searches to let me research a trademark or "word mark".

I never new this existed!! I use the RN data base, but I thik this would be much better for some of my older items.

Oh I see Queenie -if you follow Jonathan's link and go to the homepage (top left), you'll see a 'trademarks' section in the menu on the left, with a search option directly from there.

Got it now...Thanks!
