It will definitely be rejected. A patent attorney could very likely overcome that rejection, however. Feel free to set up a consultation with me.

Do I infringe IP if I include one trademarked word in my product title? The trademarked word is onsies but I include the word onsie in the title. Please help
answered on May 17, 2019
It depends. If the use of the word is likely to cause confusion as to the source of the goods used in association with the trademark (registered), then that's trademark infringement.
we found that there is plenty of XL ENERGY drink trademarks. We would like to register BALTIC XL Energy drink. Do you know if this legally is fine?

I can't let you know if you can receive a trademark on that name. However, I can confirm that your design and name of the product should both be protected as they are two separate trademarks.

Sue them. That's the only way to stop and recover from infringement. You need to contact an attorney.

I echo Sean Serraguard. I charge a $3,000 flat fee for most applications ($9K-15 when I was with a big firm), not including the filing fees. Average folks pay about $430 in filing fees, but the price could be substantially higher. If you'd like a free consultation, please reach out at... View More

their wording is registered and my words are arranged differently and missing a word the registered TM has. I also have a distant design for mine and its in use and printed on many things. How will I go about TM my design? Is it possible?
answered on Apr 29, 2019
The question is whether there is a likelihood of confusion. If the designs would cause confusion to a consumer on the source of the product, then it can't be registered as a trademark.

If there has been non-use with no intent to use for at least 3 years, then yes. Otherwise, trademark rights are not established by registration (i.e. it doesn't matter that the registration expired), rights are established by use.

Trademark registration does not allow one to sell in the marketplace. Just because a trademark is canceled does not mean that it's free for public use. There is an article on my website on this very topic.
answered on Apr 22, 2019
I don't have enough information to help you. You may want to have a consultation with an attorney.
It seems their trademark is just for a specific logo. Thanks for any help
answered on Apr 22, 2019
Maybe. The standard is the likelihood of confusion. Two companies may register and use the same words as their trademark and not be infringing if there is not a likelihood of confusions between the two uses. There is alot of information on my website on the topic.
