The trademark for BackJack belonged to a company called "Handy Dandy
Products" in Michigan. Here is the trandemark information:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Word Mark BACKJACK 
Goods and Services (ABANDONED) IC 020. US 032. G & S: seat back supports 
Mark Drawing Code (1) TYPED DRAWING 
Serial Number 74136851 
Filing Date February 6, 1991 
Current Filing Basis 1B 
Original Filing Basis 1B 
Owner (APPLICANT) Handy Dandy Products, Inc. CORPORATION MICHIGAN 106
N. Groesbeck Hwy. Mt. Clemens MICHIGAN 48043
Attorney of Record Remy J. Vanophem, P.C. 
Type of Mark TRADEMARK 
Register PRINCIPAL 
Live/Dead Indicator DEAD 
Abandonment Date January 3, 1992 

---------------------------------------

The Company, Handy Dandy Products, is still incorporated in Michigan,
and you can view images of their Annual Reports with corporate
address, and if you look at previous images, you can see names and
addresses of officers. It appears to be the Dichtel family.

As of 5/27/2005, they could be contacted by:

Ronald J. Dichtel
106 N. Groesbeck
Mt. Clemens, MI 48043

Please realize, this looks more like the inventor than the
manufacturer. It could be there is another company creating the now,
or they may have completely sold the product line.


A PDF of some instructions,
http://www.fourgates.com/backjackinstructions.pdf, reference B.J.
Industries, Inc as the manufacturer, but I cannot find a company BJ
Industries that fits, I have looked in many places & followed false
leads.

Dear optimike and genius23,
Thanks for your comments. Up to now I wrote to 5 companies called BJ
Industries. No answer yet.
It is very strange that there is no information on the net about the 
manufacturer. I wrote also to various chambers of commerce. No succes.
There are hundreds of stores and online shops world wide that sell the
Backjack. I want to import this floor chair to Germany for retail sale.
I don't give up. Maybe some body comes up with an idea how to find 
the secret manufacturer...
Kind regards,
Martanda
