It didn't specify specifically what is a registered trademark or logo. Help a nosey sista out!

I checked because I was surprised to hear that a year could be tradmarked. I understand how a particular logo containing the year as part of the design could be trademarked, but just the use of a particular year?
It shows it in the Licensing Packet. Both 1906 and '06 are trademarked. But what caught my eye is the spelling of paraphernalia in the above sentence. Is that a greek spelling or something?
