Q: Can I open a boutique with my daughters name and her middle name. The boutique would be called A*** Rose Boutique?
The clothing is aimed towards teens and older girls can I get in trouble for using the name since Rose is trademarked but there other boutiques using it? I’ve also have tried about 50 other names but they’re all taken so this is my last option hopefully.

A: The trademark examiner will be looking for a likelihood of confusion for other marks within the same class. Use of the word “Rose” doesn’t necessarily preclude your use of the word but enlisting an attorney to do a comprehensive trademark search is your best bet. Sometimes, I have helped clients come up with a brand name they never thought of but now love. Feel free to email me at Tania.williams@williamsfirmpa.com if I can be of further assistance.
