Q: If an item is not mentioned in a trademark ie light up pub sign then does that mean I can use that trademark?
I want to make a limited 100 piece run for Christmas sales of Leicester City Football Club Logo light up signs. Lots of other products mentioned in trademark but not light up signs.
A: A trademark may be considered confusingly similar to another trademark (and possibly infringing) if both marks are used in the same or similar goods or services. Consult with a trademark attorney to assist you.
Timothy John Billick agrees with this answer
A: It would depend on how the senior user is using the mark in question. A primary factor in a trademark likelihood of confusion analysis is "relatedness of the goods." There is not enough information in the above hypothetical to provide you with a definitive answer. Please consult a trademark attorney.
