Trademark details...

serial number 73150505 and Registration number 1169205.

I did a trademark search from the Patent and Trademark website and entered the word DiMarzio. There were a number of entries. This particular one doesn't have a title.

Appartently a user is only allowed a certain amount time in the Patent and Trademark system (their TESS system), for a particular search and then it closes down.

click on "search trademarks".

click on the free form search (advanced search)

Enter the word DiMarzio

It comes up as number 25 on the list when i did the search.

I like the phrase "a distinctive shade of cream" .

That makes all the difference in the world. I was wondering how the hell they would get a patent on something like a color. We should still be able to use double cream as long as the shade a distinctively different shade of cream than DM right?

Not that I actually plan on ever making a double cream bobbin. I'm just trying to figure out the business.

OH!

You were just talking about double-cream pickups and yesterday i've built a "Demarzzio" style double-cream...



I'm just an amateur pickup maker, i hope i wasn't doing ilegal stuff...

Hehehehehe...

It kind of cracks me up that they actually have a trade mark on "PAF".
