Q: Hello,My wife runs a etsy shop and one of her items she designed was deactivated for infringement.
We would like to understand the nature of the infringement. These are the details.
Lightcage LLC Intellectual Property
US Word Trademark "Bullet Journal" No.5573248 in class 16 trademark
Trademark registration number: 5573248
Trademark jurisdiction: US
Trademark Registration: registered
Trademark application classes: 16
Any advice helps.
A: An attorney couldn't tell you exactly what's going on without reviewing the notice and your wife's listing. However, if the listing included the phrase "bullet journal" for anything like THE bullet journal, the trademark owner of that phrase would be well within their rights to have the listing removed. Your wife should consider consulting with a knowledgeable trademark attorney before opposing the deactivation.
