` ** Thanks for your response.  In fact, I am a U.S. intellectual property attorney and made these posts/edits.  Furthermore, I am a member of the United States Patent and Trademark Office Bar.http://rajpatent.com/rajvabhyanker.aspx  I can tell you that the display and publishing of these marks along with their USPTO source information identifying them as federally registered U.S. trademarks does not violate intellectual property law.   In fact, the main goal of the United States intellectual property system is for the government to exchange limited monopoly rights in exchange for disclosure of intellectual property.   These logo U.S. registered trademarks, including the Ronald McDonald logo, the Microsoft Logo, the Coca-Cola logo, and others I have posted are self-provided by the respective companies to the United States Patent & Trademark Office for the specific purpose of dissemination and publishing as U.S. federally registered logo trademark interests.http://www.uspto.gov   These are distinct that copyright interests, as these trademarks have been filed to help identify the source of goods and services on which these marks are affixed.  The USPTO itself writes ``Records open to the public are searched by users for the purpose of determining ownership for other property rights with respect to patents and trademarks``http://www.uspto.gov/web/forms/pto1594.pdf, and encourages the public to access and broadly disseminate such public releases through its bulk downloads and free search information systemhttp://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/notices/lctbd.jsp as implemented on Trademarkia.  Unlike copyright records, for which the U.S. government releases only index information (as opposed to the actual work of authorship)http://www.copyright.gov, these are U.S. federally registered trademarks of these respective companies under United States trademark law.http://www.uspto.gov  The goal of U.S. trademark law is to let the public be aware of trademark rights of owners through the open and free publishing of such logo marks in the public record, and for public dissemination, to help identify the source of a particular type of good or service proffered with such marks.http://tess2.uspto.gov/tmdb/tmep/0100.htm#_T104 The USPTO itself write ``After the information is recorded, the records and associated documents can be inspected by the public and are not confidential, except for documents that are sealed under secrecy orders or related to unpublished patent applications.``Privacy Policy http://www.uspto.gov/web/forms/pto1594.pdf  As these marks are related to publicly released U.S. government trademarked logos as opposed to unpublished patent applications, these images are fully public when used to identify the source of goods or services as in my Wikipedia edits.  As such, these marks when placed in context of identifying their corporate source, not only is consistent with United States intellectual property law, but furthers a substantial and legitimate U.S. government interest.  Therefore, these logo marks as currently posted should stay, and the legitimacy for the free publishing of these marks when used to identify specific trademark ownership interests in context of company history is indisputable.   If you have further comments, do let me know.   `
