[Hidden-tech] Trademark advice

[Michael Muller]

Hey all,

I'm looking to see if I can use the term "soapbox derby" for some 
upcoming events, and am a little confused by my search results.

Using the US Patent and Trademark Office website, I find no results for 
that exact phrase:

  * http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=4807:ntmvtq.1.1

But on another USPTO page, I do find a hit:

  * https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87034942&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch

And, using other websites, I find all kinds of hits and misses:

  * https://www.trademarkengine.com/free-trademark-search/trademark-search
  * https://app.trademarknow.com/free-trademark-search?q=registry%3A%60us%60%20registry%3A%60eu%60%20mark%3A%60soapbox%20derby%60
  * https://www.corpnet.com/trademarks/free-search/

What's the best way to make sure, and what's your experience with 
searching and filing trademarks?

Thanks,

Mik
