You really need to discuss the whole issue with a Probate attorney ASAP as there is a one year... Read more »

The idea is to make dogs dressed as marvel superheroes(for example dog ironman, dog spiderman). Is that legal, and how far can I go in that direction without paying a fine
You are correct to be wary. I'm sure the trademark lawyers at Marvel are alert to any and all uses of their trademarks. It's not so much a "fine" that you would pay, as much as it might be money damages and an injunction against using the marks on your non-fungible and... Read more »

unit. The other unit insurance adjuster has said that there is no negligence on the owner of the unit so no liability reimbursement required. The water clearly came from the other unit. Do I have a legal recourse here to sue for damages? Thank you.
