Are those meant to be air quotes? Maybe instead of a trademark registration it will have a "trademark registration" or even a "trademark" "registration"?
In new trademark filing, Off-White says its quotation marks create a "unique commercial impression." thefashionlaw.com/home/in-ne…

.@zaxbys sues @joellaschicken for trademark infringement, alleging the latter's "silhouetted chicken at the center of a circle" logo is confusingly similar to zaxby's. i'm paywalled but i'm gonna guess chicken restaurant services. bizjournals.com/atlanta/news…

I have to wonder what the original pitch meeting was like. "I sure hope nobody dies between the start of the campaign and the super bowl" "people die every day" "i meant nobody important"

psa: you can always use language like "named to huffington post's best podcasts of 2019 list" to describe a factual event without paying anyone. that's called nominative fair use! (best to skip the logo if they care enough to charge people money to use it.)
"best" and "knowledge and belief" do run the gamut!
new jersey man declares "To the best of the signatory's knowledge and belief, no other persons ... have the right to use the mark in commerce..." (as a trademark for "curtain tie-backs in the nature of textile curtain holders") tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=8… #trademarks
