Dubious Trademarks: Mutts and Butts
July 2, 2008 11:26 am Dubious Trademarks, Humor, Pets, Uncategorized
The following is an expired trademark listed on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s electronic database of trademarks (TESS). Now, while I suppose there’s such a thing as a one-stop shop, I’m not sure this is exactly the right combination of trade goods to be offering. If you check a little further, it turns out there is actually still a Mutts and Butts pet shop on Long Island, but they’ve changed their image and logo and seem to just be a pet store now. Check out their site if you like…especially if you’re on Long Island and need pet supplies. Source: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=doc&state=krh966.2.2
