Service Mark (Trademark)

It is common courtesy to recognise someone elses registered trademarks. Billy the Marlin is a registered service mark of Florida Marlins LP. Amazingly not all MLB mascots' names have been registered by their owners according to a search done on www.uspto.gov (the Patent and Trademark Office)- and so the fact that Billy the Marlin IS registered, it is not irrelevant. For example, of the eleven names below, only four appear in trademark search results, and are listed first:

Bernie Brewer (SM)
Fredbird (SM)
Gapper (SM)
Sluggerrr (SM)(R)
D. Baxter the Bobcat
Junction Jack
Lou Seal
Mariner Moose
Mr. Met
Mr. Redlegs

There is no requirement, either by law or courtesy, to acknowledge a claim of trademark, and Wikipedia's guideline is not to do so; see WP:MOSTM. TJRC (talk) 17:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
