Determining Trademark Ownership (cont'd)

After reviewing the preliminary research, we now want to learn more about Kirkbi, a company involved with Legoland. We saw in the earlier searches that the company Kirkbi is a Swiss company and appears to be one of the owners of the trademark. Let's take a look at this company first.

Dialog has trademark databases from many non-U.S. countries, plus the International Register and Community trademarks filed with the Office of Harmonisation in the Internal Market. We can use the file group-EUROTMKS-to search all of these European trademarks for Kirkbi to find out what marks they might be planning to register in the future.

To start, enter the BEGIN command, followed by the OneSearch® acronym in the command text box:
