Determining Trademark Ownership (cont'd)
Next, we want to refine our search. Ray wants to see which trademarks Kirkbi is planning to use. This is also a good way to gain competitive intelligence on the company's products by seeing what trademarks they plan to use in the future.
By reviewing the legal status
field in a record, we are able to determine whether trademarks are registered,
abandoned, pending, or whether the company intends to use the mark for a new
product. ![]()
We continue our search by SELECTing the legal status fields (ST=) "intent to use" and "pending" and the owner set we just created. We enter the command in the command text box like this:
s s1 and st=(pending or intent to use)
The search history screen for the search is shown below:

We have now identified fourteen trademarks currently owned by Kirkbi.
