Mark Ohno

The following information is from the trademark or intellectual property offices of individual countries, such as the US Patent & Trademark Office/TESS; the Intellectual Property Office (UK), the Canadian Intellectual Property Office; IP Australia; German Deutsches Patent und Markenamp; the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property; Intellectual Property Office of Singapore; Intellectual Property Corp of Malaysia; plus the European Union “Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market”, and Intellectual Property database consolidators such as WIPO/World Intellectual Property Organization and multi country trademark systems such as the Madrid International Trademark System. Results are for words or logo designs registered for binoculars and field glasses are intended only to be used for historical perspective by optics enthusiasts. Researching trademarks is tricky, time consuming, a bit unreliable, and surprisingly subjective depending on search methods, filters, and terminology. The absolute accuracy of my list is specifically disclaimed (for all legal purposes view original documents). It would be nice if every trademark system search allowed filtering by NCL/ NICE product classes (binoculars are Class 9), and by goods/services word (binoculars), and by date range, and by owner name, and in English, and included all trademarks ever registered . But they don’t.  So a word search result often includes many thousands of irrelevant results and time periods. There are 27 harmonized and 33 non harmonized separate national trademark entities, Some searches will not return results on older expired trademarks, which makes them of limited use for this purpose. A few results and searches may or may not require a language I can’t read/write. And I have come across a surprising number of spelling errors. There are trademarks that reflect typed “word”, “word” in a designed typeface; word/ letters integrated in a design, and design (which might also incorporate letters or a word but is not always searchable by that). Use of a word trademark for xx filed in 1960 in country A may or may not have any relevance or association to a filing of the same exact same word in 2003 in country A, or in country B. Names that appear on binoculars can be actual brand names and brand name logos, (such as “Bushnell”), but binoculars often also carry model names (such as “Bushnell” and “Trophy”: both are individually trademarked and “Trophy” is a model line), or may contain words for attributes (such as “Bushnell”and “Broadfield” with both words individually trademarked (Broadfield indicates wide angle). Please note that a country’s trademark for binoculars is ONLY FOR THAT COUNTRY (!!) and IS ONLY FOR THE TERM the trademark is active and renewed and paid for, and has no legal effect elsewhere, or outside the registration period. So a Singapore trademark for a brand of binoculars marketed in Singapore is often but is not necessarily relevant to a brand of binoculars found in the US market with the same name either at the same or at another time. Since a trademark is not necessary to using a brand name, many or most names were used for some time prior to being trademarked, so a trademark date is not necessarily a good indication of start of name usage. Some trademarks have a stated date of name “first commercial use” on the application. And huge numbers of names on binoculars were used without ever being trademarked. Trademarks normally run until not renewed, and are then cancelled or expunged automatically as abandoned. Few companies let their trademark expire while still actively selling products using it, except for obsolete trademarked logos or typefaces. And there can be successive trademark owners and company name changes. and trademark data may only reflect last registered owner. Most trademark dates below are for “registration date” and for “binoculars” or “field glasses”. Some trademarks also encompass other named products (store brand may have hundreds). This effort started as targeting trademarks related to miniature pattern binoculars, but later expanded to all binoculars brand trademarks. The concentration is on pre 1980 trademarks. A quantity of pre 1980 binocular name trademarks have been reused after expiration 20 or 30 years later by completely unrelated entities and to list those would be confusing. I sometimes add the descriptive unofficial term “logo” to trademarks that are not “typed word” trademarks to indicate a registered image. There are more binoculars trademarks than I have been able to document. Also fair warning: I am pretty sure I can’t type this many names and numbers without making some typo errors!
