A: In short, No. RL is part of a portfolio of trademarks that protect the Polo Ralph Lauren empire. I strongly suggest that you do not pursue this trademark as it will immediately incur the wrath of Polo Ralph Lauren and its lawyers.

A: Using "RL" in your brand name for clothing or fashion products may potentially infringe on Ralph Lauren's trademark rights. It's always best to consult with a trademark lawyer to assess the risks and legality of using such a name.
