A:
Reclaiming the name "Sincity Deciples" involves a few steps to ensure you can legally use it. First, check with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to see if the name is currently trademarked. If it has been abandoned, you may be able to file a new trademark application for it.
Additionally, verify that the name is not being used by any existing businesses, as common law rights could still apply. Conduct a thorough search online and in business directories to ensure it's truly available.
Once you've confirmed its availability, you can file the necessary paperwork with the USPTO to register the trademark. This process involves submitting an application, paying the required fees, and potentially providing proof of use in commerce. Consulting with a trademark attorney can help streamline this process and address any potential issues.
