States:

"So, what trademarks and symbols are included in Volkswagens stable of
trademarks?  Among others, Volkswagen claims trademark rights in the
name Volkswagen; in the initials VW; in its distinctive logo; in THE
NAMES AND MODEL NUMBERS of Volkswagen automobiles..."

Things like: "among others", "or of any word or expression synonymous
in the popular mind with Volkswagen", or "include, but are not limited
to" are all over the site.
