The worldwide headquarters of Erik M. Pelton & Associates, PLLC® are located just 90 miles or so from the epicenter of yesterday’s 5.8 earthquake. Yes, we felt it considerably. Thankfully, no one was hurt. A few pictures shook, file cabinets opened, and ceiling tiles shifted.
Of course, earthquakes are serious matters. For fun, below are few earthquake related registered trademarks (click mark or logo for USPTO records). Shockingly, there are only 90 registered trademarks containing -quake- (but not Quaker, which is a considerably different meaning). Tip: here is how I located the relevant data from the USPTO website: a free form search of TESS for “(*quake*)[BI] and (live)[ld] not (0)[rn] not (*quaker*)[bi]”.
