Stamford, CT asked in Trademark for New York

Q: Is 'Giggle' an infringement on Fiverr's trademark word 'Gig'?

I am starting an online-marketplace platform for buyers and sellers. Giggle will mean - services offered by sellers. Is this a potential infringement?

A: Based on the limited context that you've given it sounds dissimilar enough to not be infringement, but reasonable minds may differ and a much more thorough analysis would be necessary in order to guide you properly. You're best served by retaining an attorney who is experience (such as myself, feel free to email me directly) about this for conducting a limited review.
