I've been a very bad blogger lately. I apologize. However, things have been very busy for both the PTRC and other aspects of my job, so I hope you'll forgive me in the interest of enjoying the fruits of those labors.
Meanwhile, here's a post I've been planning for some time but just haven't gotten around to composing.
A Kelley Center student worker from Kazakhstan visited home over summer break and returned with a gift for my boss and I: a national chocolate bar. It was extremely delicious and unfortunately has not reproduced itself.
As I was eating it, I happened to notice that it had a trademarked name, and that piqued my interest. After all, I know nothing about trademarks from Kazakhstan! And it's always fun to look up a trademark, especially for a particularly attractive design. The striking packaging is based on the country's flag.

The brand appears to be Paxat, and I'd like to find a registration for this specific appearance--the font and oval around it.

This design motif is one of the parts based on the flag of Kazakhstan, along with the sun and eagle |
I made a point to look up the Article 6ter Kazakhstan entries--those are basically indicators for states. Read more about them here. For your reference, here's a screenshot of the entry in the 6ter database for the flag:
