Well, this isn't going to help a great deal, but I found something
called the "Trade Names Dictionary" in the local library (fifth ed.,
Donna Wood, ed., Copyright 1986 Gale Research Company, ISBN
0-8103-0686-7, two vols.).

Unfortunately, it only lists trademarks for consumer-oriented products.

It turns out that "Helvetica" is a brand name for rings (i.e. jewelry),
and "Lucida" is an epoxy floor topping.
