The MTA has filed for trademark protection for SOME of its line symbols, as of February 7 of this year.

The application for the A Line (for example) specifies "The mark consists of a white letter A within a blue circle."

The mark has been assigned to an examining attorney. This means that a PTO attorney will give an opinion on whether the mark is registrable with or without modifications to the appliation.

The numbers/letters for which I find current applications are:

A, D, F, 1, 4, 7

That's all. Wanna speculate on why those and not others? This is a tacit acknowledgment these are not copyrightable.

Even if so, the mark(s) will be put up for an opposition period--a period when those interested can argue that the mark should be registered.

Interesting.
