Oblomov your wrong about Starpol, as here is another ACTIVE trademark assignment for STARPOL in the USA and it does not belong to Lendell
The reason it is allowed is that just like Stanelco's Starpol, it has totally different uses to that of Lendell's Starpol
Staley also had their trademark approved well after Lendell had theirs, so I see no problems as they both use inedible starch, in areas not associated with Stanelco's edible starch or each others. Neither have a logo or Standard Character claim so that is rubbish too
It's hard to believe that you didn't see this when looking up Starpol, it would have appeared in your search as it did mine, and you claim to know so much about the patents and trademarks, so we can only assume you just chose to ignore it, prefering to use your one example to put another innacurate negative slant on Stanelco
