http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=searchss&state=4002:bu83q4.1.1Check for yourself at the above government USPTO website: search for "Audio Asylum" trademark is negative.
Above contradicts the following AA page claiming TM rights for the name "Audio Asylum":
http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/d.pl?html/copyright.html
Don't really care, just found it curious. My TM attorney/USPTO agent said it is common for sources to claim TM status where none exists. Maybe this is just one of those many cases where someone employs a name and they desire people to think a TM exists where in reality there is none.
TM cost about $350 each. Above page lists about 20 TM names employed at this site for total cost of about $7k. "Curious", as Dr. Spock might say in reply.
