Q: I would like to create a design studio called "Happiness Factory", but Coca-Cola once made an ad with the same title.
Purposes would be very different. They are such a huge company and i fear risking potential misuse of their trademarks.
A: How much money are you investing in the studio? How much money would it cost to defend if Coca Cola started a dispute? How much more would it cost if they actually sued you? How many business days would be totally lost if you had to participate in the dispute? How much money will you save if you try to crowd-source an answer for free? You may wish to consider these points in seeing if you deem it cost-justified to consult an intellectual property attorney.
