Brand History & Trademark Analysis
Benjamin Holt registered the Caterpillar trademark on 2 August 1910, claiming use since 1904. The name originated when photographer Samuel Clements observed that Holt's tracked machine crawled like a caterpillar. In 1925, Holt Manufacturing merged with C.L. Best Tractor Co. The brand is widely counterfeited, prompting Caterpillar to maintain an aggressive anti-counterfeiting programme particularly in clothing and footwear categories.
