CDNameSearch - Interactive Trademark Search Description of the trademark for UCA and TMDA Act entries (wordy text description) Foreign Character Translation field The search indexes produced from these trademark 4 fields are word-oriented indexes. Examples of Search Indexes generated for CDNameSearch BAMBI gives BAMBI BLACK KITTEN gives BLACK KITTEN I.B.M. gives I B M SNOWMAN & DESIGN gives SNOWMAN DESIGN Some Extra Search indexes are generated for the trademark field automatically so as to make searching a little easier and convenient. These are squeezed indexes and additional search indexes for some special characters. CDNameSearch Search Index Enhancements Extra indexes have been generated for trademark entities where their forms are simply squeezed together as in these examples illustrated below. Also an extra search index for these trademarks having special punctuation characters contained in them has been added to CDNameSearch to enhance its searching capabilities. Examples: CHAMONIX SPORTS PLUS THE PRICE IS RIGHT RE/MAX I.B.M. C PLUS gives gives gives gives gives gives CHAMONIX SPORTSPLUS THEPRICEISRIGHT REMAX IBM CPLUS Note: The squeezed entities are only put together as such if they occur within 20 characters of the left hand side of the mark however. They have been created only from the original trademark field. This will provide some solutions to the badly formulated marks like CHAMONIX appearing in the one word situations. It will also give you more hits in the one-word two-word situations as well. Prefix searches may find more of the one word - two word situations as well. As before, searches of the form *NIX* will find the squeezed letter type marks like C H A M O N I X regardless of where they occur in a mark. They do slow searching down a fair bit if you have a short lookup string or you did a heavy search of the form *PRO*. We are still refining the removal of certain junk entities like & DESIGN appearing in the marks.
