You can use some filters:
- Status = Active or Pending
- Nice Cl. (class) = 9
The number of entries should go down to 106.
'Source' corresponds to the country in which the trademark is protected: AU = Australia, BH = Bahrain, CA = Canada, CH = Switzerland, CL = Chile, DE = Germany, DK = Danemark, EE = Estonia, EM = EUIPO = Europe and so on.
'Pentax' belongs to Hoya and, oddly enough, 'smc Pentax' belongs to Ricoh Imaging. So does 'PAIR Pentax Atmospheric Interference Reduction' (restricted to CCTV cameras and lenses).
