A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

THINGS I DISCOVER WHEN I REALLY SHOULD BE WORKING: The fact that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has a "Kids' Page" is awesome enough, but awesomer still in their sub-section on sensory marks, which lets you listen to a number of audio trademarks which you will recognize when you hear them, such as:

• "A sequence of chime-like musical notes which are in the key of C and sound the notes G, E, C" for "broadcasting of television programs."
• A song for "entertainment services in nature of basketball exhibitions."
• "Six musical notes played in a fast tempo, D, C Sharp, D, D, C Sharp, D" for "production and distribution of television and radio entertainment and sports programs."
• A sound you will recognize for "entertainment services in the nature of an animated television series."
• "Two tones in increasing pitch, playing the musical note D followed by the musical note F, just above D, which is then followed by another sequence of two tones in increasing pitch, playing the musical note F-sharp followed by the musical note G, just above F-sharp, which is then followed by a sequence of two tones in increasing pitch, playing the musical note G followed by the musical note A, just above G" for "entertainment services, namely, personalized and interactive entertainment services in the nature of providing personalized television programming, and interactive television programming and games, and entertainment information, namely, an online guide to personalized and interactive television programming."
