Hm, besides the obvious Jim Henson trademarks[1] and the trademark on Kermit
in the field of endoscopes and ureteroscopes, the service mark in the field of

advertising services, publicity; registration, transcription, composition,
compilation, transmission or systematization of communications and data''
