Do not use SPECIALTY RETAILERS, INC.'s registered trademarks, trade dress, slogans, or other proprietary identifiers without a license.

LogoVerify runs that visual check against 13M+ USPTO trademark images. This is general information; consult a licensed trademark attorney for advice on a specific design.

Question 4

Why does SPECIALTY RETAILERS, INC. have more TTAB proceedings than wins and losses combined?
