You can also do a trademark search online http://www.uspto.gov/ though
remember it's just a "layman's search" and not a thorough legally binding
search.
"lines development" turned up nothing. I'd ignore them or wait until
they provide trademark registration documents.
Not that I'm a lawyer or anything...
