New U.S. ESTERBROOK Trademark Application Filed

On 15 May 1980, Faber-Castell Corporation filed a new U.S. federal trademark application for the ESTERBROOK name. The application, serial number 73262238, covered a broad range of writing and stationery products, including fiber-tipped and porous-plastic-tipped markers, fountain and ballpoint pens, drawing pens, mechanical pencils, writing and drawing inks, pen nibs, erasers and related products. Contemporary trademark records identify Faber-Castell Corporation as the applicant and owner. Justia Trademarks The filing is evidence that the Esterbrook name remained part of an active writing-instrument trademark portfolio after the original Esterbrook manufacturing business had ended. This also fits the documented transfer of the historic Canadian ESTERBROOK trademark to Faber-Castell Canada Ltd. effective 31 December 1976. ISED Canada The supplied date of 5 May 1980 appears to be incorrect: the available U.S. trademark records give 15 May 1980 as the filing date. The resulting ESTERBROOK registration was U.S. Registration No. 1,174,179.
