Q: Is this trademark still owned
I have came with that name for a total opposite of this trademark can I still use it and copy right a different area of this brand
A: Hi, trademarking a brand is a two step process. First, you’ll need to do a clearance search to ensure that the name is available. Then, if the name is available, you can file for protection via a trademark application on the federal level with the USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office). If you need any help or have any questions feel free to email me at benjamin@korraylaw.com. Thank you.
