Hi!
First of all, sorry if my question is already answered in this forum, bit I didn't find it.
We know that a hole in the rearward portion of the blade is protected by U.S. Trademark Reg. No. 2,679,735 ("Busse Mark"). So Busse Knife Co. is the only authorized manufacturer, distributor, and authorized seller of any product using or incorporating the Busse Mark.
The question is if the Busse Mark is limited to a particular hole geometry (circular) or not.
We have observed that other knife companies, including well-stablished American brands, are manufacturing and selling knives with holes of different shapes in the rearward portion of the blade. For example: Silent Hero (Tops Knives).
We would like to know if that intellectual property includes other shape holes different to circular.
Thanks in advance!
