The United States Patent and Trademark Office has announced that its museum (yes, the USPTO has a museum) will be running an exhibit featuring Michael Jackson’s patent and trademark applications and registrations. The exhibit, which will run through Labor Day, will showcase the late entertainer’s registered and applied for patents and trademarks. Included will be the 1993 application for registration of the brand name “Michael Jackson” by Triumph International, Inc. for use in connection with “sound recordings; namely, pre-recorded phonograph records, audio tapes, compact discs, videotapes, and motion picture films featuring music and entertainment.” That brand name was granted registration on August 1, 1995. It will also feature the patent application for a system that allows the wearer of specially designed shoes to lean forward beyond his center of gravity, of which Michael Jackson is listed as a co-inventor.
For all those interested, the museum is located in the atrium of the Madison Building, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia.
