2023 Thanksgiving Trivia Round IV

Sound Familiar?

Did you know that you can get a trademark for a sound? Many people and corporations have signature auditory tunes that they want protections for! (Hopefully, they’ll make an exception for Thanksgiving Trivia!)

‍Below you will find descriptions of a number of different sounds that have been trademarked according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

‍For group A, we’re looking for the company that owns the trademark. (Don’t get too pedantic here…we don’t need parent companies) For group B, we’re asking for what the sound is from.
