The Proto trademark was registered by Plomb Tool, with the first use date noted as January 23, 1948.

In 1947 the Penens Corporation filed a trademark application for "Fleet Quality Tools" enclosed by a wing-like design, with the very first use date provided as August 29, 1947. The trademark was issued as # 519,190 on December 27, 1949. In the filing the company listed its address as 2047 South Santa Fe Avenue in Los Angeles, with Albert R. Said as business president.

Penens later signed up "Socketeer" as a hallmark.

Pendleton Tool Industries registered the "Clik-Stop" hallmark with the very first use in 1957, and the "Bet'R-Grip" trademark with first use in 1962. (Note though that "Bet'R-Grip" had been utilized by J.P. Danielson in the 1930s, which the later hallmark was for a various course of tools.).

Ingersoll-Rand Acquisition. On February 29, 1964 Ingersoll-Rand finished its acquisition of Pendleton Tool Industries, based on a report in the Los Angeles Times on that date.
Registered Trademark Symbol for Proto Tools. Later on Proto devices were marked with the R-Circle registered hallmark sign following the Proto name. Although the beginning date of the marking is not yet understood, it appears to have actually been at some time in the mid 1960s.
