My question is about avoiding violating a third-party trademark.
Here’s a quick summary:
A third party, let’s call them “Tower, Inc.” took a dead trademark (which lived from c. 1870-1970) and filed to bring it back to around 2000. Tower, Inc. now uses the trademark in new... Read more »
If Tower has the trademark, it doesn't matter that it was dead. They own it now. You could try to get them to share the trademark with you. I would definitely consult a lawyer. Good luck!
Actually, there's a trademark on "xtrafun kid products". So if I create a company called extrafun, is this bad?
how close does it have to be ? Will people be confused by the spelling differences, and is that sufficient ? Both companies are in the same product space
It depends. Since you are in the same class, there could be confusion. However, the names are different. I would consult with a trademark attorney to make sure and possibly brainstorm a new name just in case.
Yes, you absolutely can! It doesn't matter what you sell. If your business has a name, you can probably trademark it. I would speak with an attorney to make sure the name is available and not infringing on anyone else though.
I would have an attorney do a search, but I would suggest staying away from that name.
Hi! You likely can apply for this trademark. However, I would hire an attorney to take a deeper look at this trademark and see what, if any, office action was administered in order to make sure your application would not also be refused or anything like that.
and what are the fees
Yes. You can definitely register in the U.S. You just need to use an Attorney from the U.S. or a contact here with a valid address.
So I'm interested if i could for example create my own trademark with the name like Miami Walk Of Fame with my own unique design ? And would i get any trademark infringement from the following trademark? So basically I am asking may i use the "walk of fame" phrase part in my name for the company?
Hi! You might be okay, but I would recommend consulting with an attorney to talk more about potential issues with this name and logo. Trademarks is a complex area and it can be hard to predict what trademarks will be refused or ultimately get an office action.
He dug out under the fenced in area. Her cats roam freely but this happened on her property. I wasn't home so I don't know if that's true. I live in NY upstate
Probably not. It depends on your local animal codes though. Generally speaking, a code will allow several incidents before euthanasia. Your dog may be labelled a "dangerous dog" though.
trademark for our club patch has expired brian is no longer part of our club i need ownership of patch
If the trademark is expired, you should be able to simply apply for it and become the owner of it. If, however, you are seeking to get ownership of the trademark from a current owner, you can always get an assignment or transfer of ownership.

You can change her name, but you'll have to get permission from her father.
