Friday Post - Ringtones from the USPTO

By Two-Seventy-One Patent Blog

The USPTO's website has a "Kids' Pages" section that contains a collection of sounds filed under a "Trademark Soundex." It's a collection of trademarked sounds in MP3 and WAV formats. According to some readers, the site makes for a good source of ringtones for your cell phone.

Those of you interested in an annoyance factor for your ring tone, the early favorites are the Beneficial Insurance jingle ("at Beneficial - toot! toot! - you're good for more...") and Mattress Discounters ("have a good night's sleep on . . . Mattress Discounters!"). Commented one person: "after hearing it 3-4 times, I feel I want to punch something . . ."
