My paralegal degree was not for naught!
One year ago (August 6, 2002, to be exact), I completed the legal research and documentation to apply for a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the Tex in the City logo. On August 5, 2003, the registration request went unopposed (thank you, HBO and the great State of Texas, et al.).
So now, our little ™ is a ®. My, how fast they grow!
