After you run a search for the mark, click on the trademark, then click the TSDR button on the upper left. Then scroll down... Read more »

I am not sure if this applies to your situation or not. However many products from the 80's and 90's, unless covered by trademarks (such as the product's name or logo) or copyrights (for example, graphics), are now "public domain." In such cases, anyone might be able to... Read more »

I see a bunch of M1 trademarks but cannot tell if there would be an issue on this specific case.

Depends on whether somebody else has it registered or how it is used in your mark

It's possible that you could snap up this trademark. You'll have a better chance if your description of goods or services is different from that of the previous trademark. Also check to see what similar marks are registered, such as "Wear your words," which might prevent you... Read more »

l want to inquire about the possibility of registering a joint name i.e. "PETER and PAUL". I would like the use both names to label my product or would either use PETER or PAUL separately for the same category of product. Is this allow in U.S trademark law.
answered on Aug 5, 2020
Generally speaking, you may use the trademark you choose so long as it complies with trademark law, ie. it is not confusingly similar to another trademark in the same or related class/category or misleading, etc. However if you register a trademark, you should use that trademark with the spelling...

He was an inventor and patented at least 2 machines that I no of. How can I did out about patents payments inherited residual or my rights???
answered on Aug 21, 2019
If you are the Court appointed Personal Representative of his estate, then you have authority to
contact the Patent Office or you can engage counsel or a search service. Also, you will be able to
review his tax returns, and financial and all other records.
For example you have a page that posts quotes and sells merchandise. Would a trademark protect quotes and merchandise with the brand name on it from being stolen?
answered on Mar 29, 2019
Trademarks protect the indicia of the source of goods. So, yes.
For example Blue Moon is the name of the company but on social media it's Blue.Moon or BlueMoon. Would trademarking Blue Moon protect Blue.Moon or BlueMoon social media pages?
answered on Mar 29, 2019
You should only include one trademark per application. The test for infringement of a trademark is the likelihood of confusion. So, if blue moon were registered, it's very likely that the other words/phrases you suggested would also be protected. If you protected blue moon, it protected in... Read more »

I have a trademark i own ,under a company .I would like to transfer it to another company which I registered.How do I go about this process.
answered on Jul 13, 2018
You need to execute and record a trademark assignment. Any trademark attorney should be able to prepare this. I would note, before transferring the trademark, you must account for how the new owner will use the trademark. If not done correctly, the trademark could become abandoned.
answered on May 8, 2018
An attorney would need to know more facts to answer this question. The type of goods or services each mark is associate with, the overall appearance of the two marks, the content of the registration, which mark was used first, and several other factors are relevant to the question. Before using a... Read more »
Should I patent it as intellectual property? or copyright?
Should I go to lawyer or I can do it by myself online?
Thank you
answered on Apr 4, 2018
Patents are not the answer as the patent part of the PTO does not care about the text; they care about the function or the ornamental design.
You can chase a trademark (need to specify trademark to get this to a TM lawyer on JUSTIA).
