Just wondering when The National Geographic Society will step in. Why should they limit themself to press products only.

[EDIT] They have at least two generic trademarks, one with matching class.

Class 9 (including electric, measuring): http://trademarks.justia.com/852/58/n-a-85258337.html

Class 16: http://trademarks.justia.com/850/51/n-a-85051489.html

For comparison the less generic Class 9 entry of Fluke: http://trademarks.justia.com/860/76/n-86076075.html & http://trademarks.justia.com/860/76/n-86076086.html



Well, because trademarks are limited to separate classes.

I'm aware of that, also I'm not that serious about it.

It doesn't seem to stop National Geographic from licensing their logo to optical instrument manufacturer Bresser.

[EDIT] There are some
