Fireworks and Filing Marks: Firework Related Trademarks
Fireworks are believed to have originated as early as the second century B.C. in ancient Liuyang, China. The earliest “firecrackers” were said to have likely been bamboo stalks that exploded with a loud pop when thrown into a fire, caused by the intense heat building inside their hollow chambers. These natural blasts were thought to scare away evil spirits.
Between 600 and 900 A.D., legend tells of a Chinese alchemist who combined potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal to create the first version of gunpowder. When this new powder was packed into hollow bamboo (and later paper tubes), the first man-made fireworks were born.
Then, in the 13th century, fireworks came to Europe. By the 15th century, Italians had discovered a way to manufacture fireworks, which European leaders enjoyed using for special occasions. Early settlers then brought fireworks to the United States and other continents.
Now, many centuries later, we mark Independence Day and other celebrations with fireworks. Enjoy these trademarks related to fireworks.
Reg. No. 1710506 FIREWORKS BY GRUCCI
The Gruccis are widely considered the “First Family of Fireworks.” They even hold the Guiness World Record for the “Largest Fireworks Display” ever recorded (a display of 479,651 fireworks against the Dubai skyline!) and “Largest Pyrotechnic Image.”
In 1870, Angelo Lanzetta was one of the first to bring fireworks to the U.S., when he immigrated from Italy to New York. His son Anthony and nephew, Flex Grucci, took the helm after his death and carried the family’s fireworks company through the years. Grucci displays have been seen at the White House, Olympics ceremonies, Super Bowls, and more.
