MOUNTAIN DEW TRADEMARK SEARCH

[SODAPOPBOB]

I have been trying without success to find images of the original trademark document(s) for the Mountain Dew acl soda bottle label. Below is the best clue I have come up with so far. At present I am not even sure if such a document is even available. But I have been led to believe that it does exist. Except that I can't find it. []

I have arrived at the conclusion that I am not very good when it comes to searching for trademarks - patents - copyrights, etc; and could really use some help.

If you are smarter than a fifth grader (which I'm not) and know how to find what I'm searching for, and/or already have that image in your photo files, please share it with us. I'd love to see what the original (bottle label) trademark/copyright/patent looked like.

Thanks a lot

Here is the likely date I am looking for. But I'm not sure if the trademark was filed under Hartman - Mountain Dew - or what? Nor am I entirely sure what "paper label" it is referring to. Unless it is talking about an original sketch that was drawn by John Brechetto, who apparently was a high school student and friend of the Hartman's at the time.

madman ~ Thanks

That's the one.

This qualifys you for my "Easy Button" award. And if there was a detailed drawing of the label that you can share with us, then you will get a gold star to go along with your easy button. Which is just one award away from being entered into ... "The A-B.net Hall of Fame Researchers."

Thanks again. I dig that kind of stuff. But I can't seem to find it as easy as some people I know. []

P.S. ~

I especially like the part where it says the trademark is "burned" onto the bottles. What the heck? I guess that's a layman term for "acl." []

Hey, wait a minute!

The document says there were "five specimens" of the trademark. I hope this doesn't make you "mad," but I may have to take back your easy-button award if you don't produce at least one more of the so called specimens. I would hate to have to do this, but we got rules around here. []

Thanks,

Unfortunatly the trademark office doesn't have much more than the certificate posted online, they haven't scanned the rest of the folder. Maybe in the future they will, we shall see.
