:Upon further review, I've found that one of the unmarked Serial Numbers above ([http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=76502436 76502436]) was for a drawing of The Cheat and was published for opposition on September 28, 2004. Of couse, I still don't know what that means. I'm thinking it would be great to have all of these listed on the page though, if someone who knows what they are doing would like to take a stab at it, that'd be great.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:30, 18 Oct 2004 (MST) | :Upon further review, I've found that one of the unmarked Serial Numbers above ([http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=76502436 76502436]) was for a drawing of The Cheat and was published for opposition on September 28, 2004.

- | When a trademark is applied for, part of the process is to have the text or graphics printed in a journal for companies and individuals to review. This ensures that if another company is using a trademark previous to another companies filing, the first company will get preferred status. This is known as "Published for Opposition." Unlike a patent, which cannot be revealed publicly before filing, a trademark must be in use before an application can be completed. | + | When a trademark is applied for, part of the process is to have the text or graphics printed in a journal for companies and individuals to review.

Trademark Information
After a quick search (with "Harmless Junk, Inc" in the "Search Term:" field and "Owner Name and Address" in the "Field:" field) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office website, I was able to find the following:
Serial Number Reg. Number Word Mark Check Status Live/Dead 1 78382974 CHEAP AS FREE TARR LIVE 2 76502436 TARR LIVE 3 76481419 2859529 HOMESTAR RUNNER TARR LIVE 4 76481416 2859528 TARR LIVE 5 76502438 THE CHEAT TARR LIVE 6 76502437 MARZIPAN TARR DEAD 7 76481418 TARR LIVE 8 76566454 HR TARR LIVE 9 76502440 TARR LIVE 10 76481417 STRONG BAD TARR LIVE
I'm no lawyer, but I don't see the date of September 24, 2004 when I go into the individual page for The Cheat. The filing date for The Cheat was March 31, 2003 and the Published for Opposition date was May 25, 2004. I've removed the trademark claim from the page, pending further research. -- Tom 17:03, 18 Oct 2004 (MST)
