Trademarks can exist from mere use in commerce, in some jurisdictions. You check the industry publications to see if the words or logo are "used in association with goods or services" in the form of a trademark.
You can also search state and federal databases to find which trademarks (or service marks) have been registered. The US Patent and Trademark Office has one at uspto.gov, and many states' offices of the secretary of state have online access as well. Similarly, some other countries (Canada) have online searchable databases, as does the European Union (for a "community" mark).
Or you can hire a search firm to run a search and produce a report.
Obviously, if you are checking a trademark that you intend to use on your own products, the cost of a professional opinion from a trademark attorney may be cheap insurance against having to start over with a new brand if you miss something in your search.
Debit, assuming you're BUYING a patent. Credit, if you have RECEIVED one from another company, or if you have received royalties or other income from one.

Value depends on the actual model and condition. I have seen this at shows and online for anywhere from $250 to $500. Most of them, like my father's model 12C, are kept for their sentimental value, rather than as a valuable antique firearm. But as I remember, the Model 12 was an accurate, dependable rifle. I used my father's 12C to dispatch a lot of small game back in the 1960's.
This firearm was introduced in 1909 and the last one, a model 12C was produced in 1929. Remington can actually tell you the approximate date of manufacture of yours based on the serial number.
Actually, Remington made the Model 12 until 1936 after which it was replaced by the Model 121.
Actually (from a different person ;) If you list a serial number I can tell you when it was made if it's after 572,000 or so it's 1921 and later and there will also be a date barrel code stamped on the left side of the barrel, which you can lookup (or list here) and it will give month as well as year. If a 12 is in excellent to mint condition depending on the grade in can bring 12-1,500 new in the box.

It is a "mark" or combination of letters, numbers, symbols or "slogan" that identifies a company or it's goods and services as being different from it's competitors.
This is a very specialized firearm for collecting. Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.

What are current copyright laws affecting digital media?
For the most part, digital media is treated as its rough equivalent in physical media; both are covered by the same laws.

A design patent is good for how long?
In general, a patent can be maintained for 20 years from the date of its first priority filing. In some pharmaceutical cases delayed by the FDA, the date can be extended somewhat.
However, a patent filed in the USA prior to June 1995 may lapse 17 years after date of ISSUE (not filing) or 20 years after date of filing, whichever is later.
Patents may also lapse because of non-payment of required maintenance fees, which vary by country.
Furthermore, a patent may be ruled completely or partially invalid for any number of reasons, making its protection questionable from that date on.
Finally, if a patent is never issued (for one reason or another) or is never filed, or is filed improperly, then it does not protect the invention at all.
On a related note: plant patents and design patents (and the like) are generally limited to much shorter periods of protection.
