Q: is nicer dicer quick have a trademark?
i search about it but i did not find that it have a trademark and it is safe to use is that right
Thanks
It also depends on the type of use the trademark has.
It is registered by type of product or service, so even if it is registered you may be able to get a registration.
Contact an attorney that can help you in clearing the brands you want to file for.
Q: Can I remove an "owner" from my trademark? Do I need to go to court?
A trademark is property, just like a car or a house. If you are transfering ownership, from two people to one, for example, you will need some proof of that transaction and agreement of the parties.
Then you can register that change with the USPTO.
