Locating a Known Trademark
Summary
In Lesson 1 we introduced the basic commands necessary to conduct a Dialog search. Here is a summary of the basic commands we just learned.
| Command | Example | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| BEGIN B |
begin 226 b 226 b 226,246 current b ustmks |
Use BEGIN with a file number to specify the database(s) to be searched. |
| EXPAND E |
expand et=spike-a-roo e ow=mcdonald |
Use EXPAND to verify the spelling of a term and to view similar entries. |
| SELECT S |
select et=direct hit? s et=legoland? s s1 |
Use SELECT to create a set of records (e.g., s1) that contains the specified terms. |
 TYPE T |
type s1/short/all t s2/full/1 t s3/medium/1,2 t s1/49/1-10 |
Use the Button to view records or use the TYPE command: t s#/format/range of records. |
 LOGOFF |
logoff | Click the LOGOFF button to end the search and disconnect from Dialog or enter LOGOFF in the command box. |
We conducted a search using the prefix ET= to search for a known trademark. We viewed what this search would look like conducted in File 226, TRADEMARKSCAN—U.S. Federal using DialogWeb.
This search process is one that we will continue to follow as we perform more searches on DialogWeb.
Go to Lesson 2 to see how to do a trademark screening search.
