<p><font face="Calibri">Hey all,</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">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.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Using the US Patent and Trademark Office
website, I find no results for that exact phrase:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=4807:ntmvtq.1.1"><font
face="Calibri">http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=4807:ntmvtq.1.1</font></a></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Calibri">But on another USPTO page, I do find a hit:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri"><a
href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87034942&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch">https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87034942&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch</a></font></font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Calibri">And, using other websites, I find all kinds
of hits and misses:<br>
</font></p>
<ul>
<li><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.trademarkengine.com/free-trademark-search/trademark-search"><font
face="Calibri">https://www.trademarkengine.com/free-trademark-search/trademark-search</font></a></li>
<li><font face="Calibri"><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://app.trademarknow.com/free-trademark-search?q=registry%3A%60us%60%20registry%3A%60eu%60%20mark%3A%60soapbox%20derby%60">https://app.trademarknow.com/free-trademark-search?q=registry%3A%60us%60%20registry%3A%60eu%60%20mark%3A%60soapbox%20derby%60</a></font></li>
<li><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.corpnet.com/trademarks/free-search/"><font
face="Calibri">https://www.corpnet.com/trademarks/free-search/</font></a></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Calibri">What's the best way to make sure, and what's
your experience with searching and filing trademarks?</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Thanks,</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Mik<br>
