Q: How do I reach out to use a trademarked phrase?
I'd like to use the slogan Run Forrest Run as a political candidate, my name is Forrest.
A:
As a politician or aspiring to be you should have a team of advisors including attorneys
It should include branding people
In general a trademark protects the products or services that it was registered for.
If you use it for political purposes and it has no protection for that, then it may, I said, may be alloweable
BUT you should consult with an attorney
Best luck
A:
Until you've consulted with a trademark attorney it's better to be safe than sorry.
You should then consult with a trademark attorney.
