Question: What is a PTDL (Patent and Trademark Depository Library)?

Answer:
A Patent and Trademark Depository Library (PTDL) is a library which is designated by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to receive and house copies of US patents and patent and trademark materials.

Question: I want to complain about a company. Can I use their name and logo?

Answer:
Yes. While trademark law prevents you from using someone else's trademark to sell your competing products, it doesn't stop you from using the trademark to refer to the trademark owner or its products.
