​
Overview

Returns a paginated, summary-tier list of trademark owners. Supports fuzzy name search, country and entity-type filters, and three “virtual” filters that join the public_companies table to find owners enriched with SEC ticker, GLEIF LEI, or any public-company linkage. Suppressed owners (placeholder records, frozen entities) are always excluded.

​
