A Trademark Lawyers Guide to Dallas

Prepared for attendees of the 2013 INTA Annual Meeting

Presented by:

Experience is our trademark. Trademark is our experience.

2013 Erik M. Pelton & Associates, PLLC

The INTA Annual Meeting is a time for learning, networking, touring, and more as thousands of trademark attorneys and practitioners from across the globe gather in Dallas. It is our pleasure to offer visitors this guide to many of the major sites and activities around town, through our trademark perspective. Because this guide is for use with the INTA (Registration No. 1914028) conference, we have, of course, included information regarding interesting trademark registrations! Special thanks to our law clerk Nick Santucci, who contributed to this guide.

Just for Fun


Remember Enron? The Houston, Texas company went bankrupt in 2001 and will live in history as a quintessential example of corporate corruption. This ENRON mark (Reg. No. 3912635), owned by Defunkt Shirt Company, is alive and registered for Tee shirts. If you are craving for a pair of Christian Louboutins shoes featuring their renowned red lacquered soles, which is a registered trademark with the USPTO and was the subject of a recent dispute with Yves Saint Laurent, you can find them in the Louboutin boutique at Highland Park Village. The TV show DALLAS (Reg. No. 1311509) was famous for the Who shot J.R? episode and for its portrayal of the Ewing oil tycoon family. In 2012, the show was revived on TNT, continuing the same story lines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron
