The good news is that no 99-series trademarks occur for that initial search. The search
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b>ON:( *©* ) AND LD:true AND SN:99*</b></span> retrieves just 2 trademarks, namely 99205114 with
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);">Jaime-Arturo: Grijalva©\u2122</span> as the owner name and 99025927 with
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);">THE FOREIGN NATIONAL TRUST©\ufe0f </span>as the owner name on TSDR; that is, the most of the unusual © strings for the original registration search appear to be older applications and perhaps the newer Trademark Center applications
may have reduced or eliminated the occurrences of the challenging © strings in the ON - Owner Name field.</div>

For my first glance, I thought most of the unusual © strings were actually in the EN\u2002- Owner entity field that contains the owner entity type, except searches like
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b>EN:( *©* ) AND LD:true</b></span> fail to retrieve any trademarks. (I'll admit that I do not recall searching in the EN field prior to today.)</div>
