On February 7, 2001, the company applied for trademark registration of the phrases "We Will See the Cure" and "20/20" for use with "multi-replica blotting kits comprised primarily of laboratory reagents and proprietary membranes sold as a unit for scientific or research use in the analysis of proteins."[4][5]
