Signage, ads, invoices, old websites, customer-facing materials, and social profiles can help show use of a name or logo over time.

Local Planning Notes
Ridgehill IP planning should protect local reputation, customer information, web assets, and creator-made materials.
Website and brand files should be accessible
Domains, hosting, source files, logos, photos, and ad accounts should be controlled by the business even if a vendor maintains them.
