List of trademarks in Pact/Pale. I'm using the term "trademark" loosely.

Organizations are included if their name would have some sort of legally recognized standing. Informal groups and so forth are listed at Groups and Organizations. Books related to the Practice are excluded but are listed at List of Books.

Symbols used: ⚓ (exists IRL), 🔄 (expy), ✨ (fictional).

Honourable mentions

• The University (first appears in Pact: Collateral 4.2) - the unnamed university in Toronto where Isadora works. Though always capitalized, the University is never named. It could be an expy of any of the five universities in Toronto, or may be entirely fictional.
• The unnamed cafe in the downtown of Jacob's Bell (first appears in Pact: Bonds 1.5), where several scenes in Pact take place. Purely based on statistics, it is probably a Tim Hortons.
• CAS (Children's Aid Society) is a type of organization. Normally, both IRL and in the text, one refers to the CAS without any need to specify which CAS is being referred to. However, we can make some inferences based on geography:
  • Highland Shores Children's Aid is the local CAS for the IRL area where Jacob's Bell is probably located (mentioned in Signature 8.1<ref>“I'm going to call the CAS, given your situation-”. Lola approached the principal and the Briar Girl. - Signature 8.1</ref>).
  • The Children's Aid Society of the District of Thunder Bay covers the IRL area where Kennet is probably located (first mentioned in One After Another 10.4<ref>“No need.  That’s great.  So hi, I’m David, I’m from CAS.  Do you know what that means?  CAS?” - One After Another 10.4</ref>).
• Dudley Donut, used in Mala Fide 10.x as an insulting nickname for Duncan Behaim, may be a reference to Dunkin' Donuts?
• Corn Flakes (mentioned in Pact: Null 9.1) - usually refers to the Kellogg's cereal, but the term has never been trademarked, and can refer to various similar products by various companies.
• Many traditional games: chess, poker, Go Fish, Nine Men's Morris, etc
