As far as I know it was never called the "Underwood Canning Company", it was always the William Underwood Company. I would have changed the title but I don't see how to. It didn't even use cans when it was started by my great-great-great-great-grandfather. 72.229.151.216 15:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC) Nathaniel Poor.
The author states that Deviled Ham is a trademark of William Underwood Company, and the successors in interest to the Underwood Deviled Ham product. Further he/she states that it is the longest-running food trademark in the U.S. I did not believe this to be true - so I checked the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. There is, in fact, no trademark registered for "Deviled Ham," and, given the long term use of the mark and the failure to either file or protect, it is unlikely that one could be obtained at this point.
